Descrizione

The Etna Rosso Arcuria of Graci is a protagonist of the North Etna slope from many years, the result of the careful work by Alberto Aiello Graci in selecting the various plots to own and thus obtaining the most territorial wine.

There are 15 hectares cultivated in Nerello Mascalese in Contrada Arcuria, of which 1.5 are dedicated to the Vigna del Pozzo: a natural amphitheater in the Passopisciaro area, north of the main communication road and slowly sloping towards the Alcantara river valley, an area with perfect exposure that guarantees ideal ripening conditions even in the most difficult weather years.

Harvested starting from mid-October, the graped from Contrada Arcuria undergo a long period of maceration on the skins after spontaneous alcoholic fermentation in oak vats without temperature control: up to 90 days are necessary to allow Nerello Mascalese to translate into liquid all its peculiar characteristics, before racking and subsequent decanting into large barrels for an aging of 18 months.

In tasting this son of the volcano demonstrates an extraordinary pleasantness, starting from the color, transparent ruby ​​red accompanied by a clear concentration in the glass. On the nose, the Arcuria presents an articulated bouquet, ranging from redcurrant and raspberry to a bouquet of dried colored flowers, then nuances attributable to oregano and sweet spices as well as a slight hint of graphite and iron.

The sip proves to be energetic, decisive and balanced, with a fine tannic texture, a well-present minerality and an acid trail to close with an aftertaste of wild berries.

Graci’s Etna Rosso Arcuria is a great red from Mt. Etna, extremely pleasant and with an excellent balance of all its facets from a unique territory. A wine that can express itself very well from a young age but that will be able to surprise if forgotten in the cellar for a few years.

Another masterpiece, yet another, by Graci: a certainty in the Etna landscape.
