What an impressive inaugural release from the Piedmont icon, Gaja and Etna superstar, Alberto Graci with their Etna Rosso. The 2017 IDDA Etna Rosso immediately impresses and entices from the first swirl of the glass. Sweet aromas of tart black cherry, red berries, and marzipan immediately draw you in. These juicy aromas layered with hints of blood orange mixed with soft herbal notes of fresh oregano carry through on to the palate. But it is the first sip that seals the deal with flinty mineral notes added to the fruit that keeps you coming back for more. The bright acidity gives the wine freshness and energy, and the silky fine tannins linger on a long finish. The Gaja/Graci pedigree and Mt. Etna's terroir is unmistakable in this new release. Kudos to both GAJA and Graci on this exciting new venture, and we look forward to tasting more releases from this exciting new project!

"Smokiness, vibrant acidity and rocky mineral notes are common for Etna wines, reminders of the nearby sea, as well as the always smoky crater, the fire inside and the perennial snows above. The wines coming from Etna have a simplicity in its best sense and are rigorous and precise." Gaia Gaja

An enticing, graceful red, with a perfumed nose of dried rose petal, grilled rosemary and a touch of incense spices. This is plush and supple on the palate, offering a lovely range of dried raspberry and plum skin, plus a subtle underpinning of tar-tinged smoke notes. Hints of orange peel and red licorice linger on the persistent finish. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. Drink now through 2034. 2,900 cases made, 400 cases imported.

The 2021 Etna Rosso is spicy with a burst of savory herbs and flowery underbrush, complicating a core of dried black cherries. It flows across the palate like pure silk, polished and refined with mounting saline mineral tones contrasting its ripe wild berry fruits. The 2021 takes on a juicy quality through the finale, leaving gently grippy tannins to mingle with lavender and inner rose. This remarkably pretty Etan Rosso should drink beautifully with only minimal cellaring.
