Produced from \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Mascalese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, this Etna Rosso presents itself with a brilliant ruby red appearance. The olfactory profile offers refined aromas of blood orange, accompanied by light floral notes and hints of medicinal herbs. On the palate, it reveals itself to be dry, elegant and dynamic, outlined by \u003cstrong\u003evertical tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pleasant \u003cstrong\u003emineral freshness\u003c\/strong\u003e, developing a harmonious persistence enriched by maturation in concrete tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine is born on the north-eastern slope of Etna, between Passopisciaro and Castiglione di Sicilia, in an environment with unique pedoclimatic characteristics. The vineyards are located at an altitude of between six hundred and one thousand metres above sea level, where the cool climate and strong \u003cstrong\u003etemperature variations\u003c\/strong\u003e guarantee optimal and gradual ripening of the bunches. The vines take root in brown \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, characterised by a sandy-loam matrix and an abundant presence of stones. These neutral pH soils are particularly rich in iron and nitrogen, giving the wine its unmistakable \u003cstrong\u003eterritorial footprint\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest takes place between the end of September and the beginning of October, following the natural rhythms of the plant. In the cellar, vinification begins with fermentation accompanied by \u003cstrong\u003emaceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e lasting about thirty days, an essential step in defining the structure of the wine. After spontaneous malolactic fermentation, the process continues with \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in concrete tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e for eighteen months, an ideal method for faithfully preserving the linear expression of the fruit and the essence of the raw material. A short \u003cstrong\u003efinal ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e of two months consolidates the overall harmony before release.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraci Etna Rosso is produced using exclusively Nerello Mascalese grapes, a red grape variety indigenous to Sicily.
