Graci Etna Rosato

This wine is 100% nerello mascalese, sourced from a vineyard in the sub-zone of Passopisciaro in the Comune of Castiglione di Sicilia. The vines are bushed trained on the north-eastern face of Mt Etna at 600 m.a.s.l. at a density of 6,300 vines per Ha. The brown soils are of volcanic origin, rich in fossils, iron and sand, with a high nitrogen content. The wine is fermented with indigenous yeasts in cement tanks following destemming and a light crush with no maceration. The wine remains on lees in cement tanks for six months prior to bottling.
