Idda Etna Red 2021 DOP Gaja & Graci

Idda Etna Rosso 2021 DOP Gaja & Graci

Idda Etna Rosso 2021 DOP Gaja & Graci is a Sicilian red wine with a strong identity, born from the meeting of two prestigious realities and from a project that enhances the authentic character of Etna. It is an Etna Rosso that combines elegance, energy, and depth, sensitively interpreting one of the most fascinating territories of Italian wine.

Territory and wine style

The Etna Rosso DOP designation expresses here all the strength of the southwest slope of the volcano, with vineyards located in the municipality of Biancavilla, at an average altitude between 700 and 800 meters. In this context, the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio create a red with a refined, tense, and territorial profile, marked by natural freshness and a mineral imprint. The winemaking involves fermentation and maceration of about three weeks, followed by 24 months of aging in wood and cement, a choice that helps build balance and complexity without weighing down the sip.

Tasting notes

Idda Etna Rosso 2021 presents an intense and multifaceted olfactory profile, where notes of sour cherry, mulberry, and marzipan emerge, accompanied by herbaceous nuances and slight sulfur hints. On the palate, it has a medium structure, with an elegant texture and a lively acidity that supports its rhythm and extends the drink. The finish is clean, mineral, and persistent, with hints of flint that reinforce the connection to the volcanic soil and make the wine dynamic and recognizable.

Recommended pairings

This Etna Rosso naturally accompanies flavorful dishes that are not overly rich. It is ideal with roasted white meats, grilled chicken, oven-baked rabbit, pork roasts, mushrooms, grilled vegetables, and first courses with meat sauces or delicate ragù preparations. Excellent also with medium-intensity aged cheeses and with Mediterranean cuisine of aromatic character, where freshness and minerality find a harmonious pairing.

Serving temperature

To best appreciate Idda Etna Rosso 2021 DOP Gaja & Graci, a serving temperature of 16-18 °C is recommended. In the case of a young opening, a brief aeration can help highlight the more expressive side of the bouquet and soften the wine's more austere component.
