2021 Arcurìa, Etna Rosso, Graci, Sicily, Italy

Description

The vines here sit between 600-700 meters above sea level, which is above average, and certainly evident in this definitively, ‘above average’ bottling. This is my favourite of Graci’s reds. Very simply delicious, whilst also gastronomic and intellectual. Dried rose petal, strawberry, dark black cherry and earthy, leathery tones. The structure of 2021 is noticeable, and I’m equally sure of its capability to cellar.

Drink 2024 - 2033

Charlie Leech, Buying Assistant, Berry Bros. & Rudd

Beautifully elegant, both on the nose and palate. This is a bright wine with rich raspberry aromas and greater aromatic weight, with blood orange, ground coffee and herbs. It's very pretty and silky, highly concentrated with fine acidity. A lingering and very long finish. Delightful.

Critics reviews

James Suckling 94/100
A juicy and polished Etna red with crushed black berries, pumice, metal shavings and graphite in the nose and on the palate. Medium body. Firm and polished with a pretty finish. Really pretty at the end. Always well-crafted.Drink or holdjames_suckling, jamessuckling_com (October 2023)

About this wine

Etna

Etna

Winemaking on Mount Etna, along Sicily's eastern coast, benefits from volcanic soil, high elevation, and diverse microclimates. The result is distinctive wines known for their mineral character and freshness. Dominated by Nerello Mascalese grapes, the region combines tradition with innovation in winemaking, protected by its Denominazione di Origine Controllata (DOC) designation.
