The Rosato was born in 2007 – because Marco de Grazia’s three-year-old daughter, Elena, insisted on it. There was a red wine, there was a white. Why not one in pink too? The winery was already painted pink. All that was missing was the wine. De Grazia, who had not planned to make a Rosato until then, set to work. The result is no frivolous summer wine, even if it is often enjoyed in summer. De Grazia’s stated ideal for his Rosato is: "il corpo di un bianco e l’anima di un rosso". And he adds: "gioioso senza essere frivolo; tensione senza essere austero." Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio from vines aged between 25 and 60 years on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, at altitudes of between 600 and 900 metres, on volcanic soils from the estate’s various vineyards.

A bright, vibrant pink. The bouquet is delicate yet expressive – strawberry, red berries, a hint of flowers and volcanic minerality. Fresh on the palate with lively tension, and a long, invigorating final. A real delight in the bottle – and we’d like to say thank you to Elena. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2025 Etna Rosato is so impressive, mixing crushed peaches with chamomile, citrusy spices and spearmint. Luxuriously round and supple, it has brisk acidity to balance as decadently ripe orchard fruits are neatly offset by a crunch of minerality toward the close. It finishes long with a saline inflection. The 2025 is deeply complex and well balanced for the cellar." Vinous
