Drink now through to 2024. Serve chilled.

Mount Etna is a very special place for winemaking thanks to the black lava soils and altitude which can reach up to 1000 metres above sea level or more. Alberto Graci’s family have been making wine in Sicily, but Graci initially decided to pursue a career in banking in Milan until his grandfather’s death brought him back to the family winery. Today Graci owns 18 hectares in the Contrada Arcuria vineyard which sit at between 600-1000 metres of altitude, and he is also Vice President of the Consorzio covering the Etna DOC region.

Graci’s Etna Rosato is made from organically-grown Nerello Mascalese grapes, Etna’s most famous black grape variety, which thrives in the volcanic soils. To preserve the freshness and varietal character the wine is fermented in concrete tanks and matured in stainless steel for six months.

The result is a pale salmon-hued rosé which opens on the nose with seductive notes of crushed strawberries, raspberries and dried herbs. On the palate there is mouthwatering freshness, bright red berry flavours and hints of smoky minerality from the volcanic soils. The refined, fruit-forward character of this wine makes it a great choice to drink as an aperitif or to serve with summer salads, fish dishes, or creamy risottos.
