Graci Etna Bianco DOC 2022
Graci Etna Bianco DOC 2022
Here is an excellent white wine with grapes from the two neighboring contradas, Muganazzi and Arcuria. These two, where Graci has a monopoly on Arcuria, are located at an altitude of 650-700 meters in Passiopisciaro on the north side of Etna. Volcanic subsoil without lime, but very rich in iron and nitrogen.
The grapes are harvested in mid-October, and after spontaneous fermentation in a steel tank, the wine has been left for 8 months on the lees in the same tank, after which the wine is bottled.
In this vintage, the grape composition is 85% carricante and 15% catarratto.
The wine has a nice straw yellow color, and in the nose you are met by typical Sicilian citrus fruits, sweet flowers and aromatic herbs. You also sense a little salt from the sea.
In the mouth, the wine is very fresh and elegant, and it has a very long finish.
The wine is durable and can be enjoyed with fish, shellfish and young cheese.
It is also a really nice terrace wine on a hot summer day.
Biodynamic production method with minimal addition of sulphur.
