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.
An elegant and distinctive Etna Rosso from Federico Graziani, produced from old vines on the northern slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. Predominantly Nerello Mascalese, complemented by small proportions of indigenous varieties, the wine reflects the complexity of Etna’s volcanic soils and high-altitude vineyards. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, followed by ageing in oak to develop structure and complexity.
Aromas of wild cherry, redcurrant and dried rose petals mingle with notes of Mediterranean herbs, spice and volcanic minerality. The palate is refined and finely structured, with vibrant acidity, delicate tannins and a long, savoury finish. A precise, expressive wine with considerable depth and ageing potential.
