Description

A still red from Etna, Sicily, produced by Graci. 100% Nerello Mascalese, 2018 vintage. A wine born from the passion of Alberto Aiello Graci, who chose to return to Sicily and embark on a new career: that of winemaker. Grapes and volcano: these are Graci's wines, the sole interpreters of an extraordinary terroir. Traditional red fermentation without the use of selected yeasts, without temperature control in conical oak vats, and long macerations on the skins. A wine that expresses the power of the volcano through the purity of Nerello Mascalese.

  • 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. Read more
