Letting Nature take the lead
Discover the vineyards of Graci, nestled on the North slope of Mount Etna at Passopisciaro. Here, at altitudes between 600 and 1,000 meters, the vines flourish in a landscape steeped in thousands of years of viticultural history. They embrace what we'd consider a thoughtful planting strategy, ensuring each vine has ample space to grow and flourish.
The volcanic soils, unique to this region, have safeguarded many vines from the phylloxera scourge, allowing them to thrive on their original rootstock. Referred to as a 'magical' climate, the combination of altitude and cold winds off the mountain, contrast Siciliy's typically warm climate. This, combined with the distinct soils, bestow an elegance and character upon the wines. The natural expression of the territory reveals itself in each bottle, and is truly not to be missed!
