Graci
Italy Sicily
Graci is located on the northern slope of Mount Etna, in Passopisciaro. The area has an ancient wine tradition. The vineyards are located in the heart of the Alcantara valley at an altitude between 600 and 1,000 meters above sea level. Winemaker Alberto Graci only cultivates Etna vines here with the grape varieties Nerello Mascalese, Carricante and Cataratto, with as much respect as possible for the terroir and traditions.
The cultivation of the vineyards is fully organic certified and there is a lot of attention for sustainability. During the harvest there is a careful selection for full ripeness of grapes and yields in the vineyard are kept to a minimum. A strict approach is also used in the cellar, in search of precision and finesse. All work is aimed at supporting the personality of the vineyards while preserving the diversity and nuances between vintages. This with the full conviction that only by supporting and respecting the natural expression of the terroir, wines are made that are particularly complex.
