Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo Graci 2019

The Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo Graci 2019 interprets with great personality one of the most fascinating territories of Italian wine. Signed by Graci, it comes from a historic vineyard in the Feudo di Mezzo area, in Passopisciaro, and precisely tells the style of Etna Rosso: elegance, tension, depth, and a pleasant savory imprint.

Territory and wine style

This wine comes from a plot of about 1.5 hectares located 600 meters above sea level, with vines around 80 years old trained as bush vines. The vineyard, predominantly planted with Nerello Mascalese and a small part of Nerello Cappuccio, develops on very sandy and fine-textured soils, in a natural context surrounded by olive and almond trees. It results in an Etna wine with a generous character, capable of combining fruit maturity, gustatory drive, and an authentically territorial character.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents itself with a ruby red color, enriched by delicate garnet reflections on the rim. The bouquet is broad and articulated, with hints of black berry fruits, spices, flowers, and bay leaves. On the palate, it impresses with its full body and the energy of the sip, which remains both round and vibrant. The tannin is well-present but harmonious, the freshness supports the wine, and the savory finish accompanies a finale of excellent persistence.

Recommended pairings

The Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo Graci 2019 pairs naturally with flavorful and structured dishes. It is ideal with roasted meats, braised dishes, lamb, light game, mushrooms, baked preparations, and aged cheeses.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate this wine, a serving temperature of 16-18°C is recommended. A brief passage in a decanter can be helpful if the wine is opened at a young age, to enhance the expression of the aromas and the harmony of the sip.
