Description

This variability, which Nerello Mascalese manages to interpret in an astonishing and chameleon-like manner, never ceases to amaze and thrill us. It stimulates us all the more to make wines which are true to and expressive of their real nature.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 2004
  • Oenologist: Alberto Aiello Graci, Emiliano Falsini
  • Bottles produced: 85.000
  • Hectares: 30
Alberto Aiello Graci is a young man of 35 who decided to change his life after studying economics and a job in Milan. He chose to return to Sicily and start a new profession, that of wine grower. For almost 2 years now, his younger sister, Elena, has been working alongside him with the same great dedication and passion. Ever since he embarked on this new adventure, Alberto has always had clear ideas: he has taken over vineyards of resplendent beauty, vines cultivated using the alberello system that time, climate and the work of winegrowers have changed in shape.
Grapes and volcano, these are the wines of Graci, unique interpreters of an extraordinary terroir. The winery is an old and majestic palmento skilfully restored by Alberto. Here, one part is occupied by the production structure, while another part, with cross vaults, still houses the old barrels and tools for wine production.
