Federico Graziani is a winemaker and former sommelier who built his reputation by marrying deep wine knowledge with bold experimentation. Originally earning recognition as “Best Sommelier Italy” in 1998 and later gaining academic credentials in viticulture and oenology (2006), he turned his attention to Etna, where he farms vineyards on the northern slopes, in zones like Passopisciaro and Montelaguardia, cultivating Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio (for reds), and blends of local and non-local white varieties in high altitude contrade. His viticulture is traditional and respectful: alberello training, hand harvest, minimal intervention, indigenous yeasts, avoidance of systemic pesticides, and long ageing on lees or in neutral or steel vessels.
Etna Rosso comes from vineyards at approximately 650-800 metres altitude on sandy, rocky soils in Passopisciaro / Montelaguardia (northern slope Etna). Grapes are mostly Nerello Mascalese with a smaller percentage of Nerello Cappuccio and some Alicante. The wine is hand harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts in steel (or neutral vessels), then aged for 18 months in steel before further maturation in bottle for about 6 months. On the nose it shows red fruit, spice, volcanic hints, citrus freshness and subtle herbal tones. The palate is lively, with balanced tannins, medium body, refreshing acidity and a sapid finish.
