"Dried apples and hints of strawberries and peach skin follow through to a full body with bright and vivid acidity and stone and ash undertones." James Suckling

Hell leuchtende Cuvée, die nach frischen Früchten und Blumen duftet. Am Gaumen schmeicheln Aromen von Apfel, Birne und Pfirsich, gut balanciert und ausgewogen. Köstlich auch die fein-mineralische Salznote im Abgang. (superiore.de)

"Light- to medium-bodied and well-cut, this balanced white offers a snappy mix of crunchy pear, apricot and preserved lemon, with an underpinning of smoke-tinged minerality that lingers on the finish." Wine Spectator

"Spicy apples and pears as well as sliced grapefruit and pomelo, hay and hints of herbs. Medium body, a fairly textured center palate, fresh acidity and a fruity finish." James Suckling

"Tthe 2016 Etna Bianco is a wine that invites easy (and happy) drinking. This is a streamlined and tonic expression with salty mineral tones followed by white peach and Golden Delicious apple. The Graci trademark is balance, and this wine shows impeccable harmony with a beautifully polished finish." Robert Parker

Mit viel Anmut und schöner Sortentypizität präsentiert sich dieser Archetyp eines Etna Rosso. Im Bouquet Aromen von Erdbeere und Kirsche, am Gaumen eine mittelgewichtige Frucht, leicht salzige Anklänge und würzige Nuancen. (superiore.de)

"Lots of hibiscus to this Etna red as well as herbal tea, orange and citrus undertones and cranberry essence. Medium body, firm tannins, a wealth of good acid tension and a medium chewy finish. So pretty and refined." James Suckling

"Pressed wild flower, hay, fennel and ripe berry scents mingle together in the glass. The refreshing palate combines crushed strawberry, juicy red cherry, saline and a hint of baking spice alongside bright acidity." Wine Enthusiast

"Lots of dry ground spice and mineral notes lead the way in this finely meshed, medium-bodied red, showing real drive, layering the spicy thread with chalky tannins and flavors of sun-dried cherry and strawberry fruit, grilled herb and tar. Lovely finish." Wine Spectator

"Here is a textbook wine from Etna. The 2015 Etna Rosso reflects the basic promises of this exciting appellation. The wine offers power and grace with territory-specific aromas of cigar ash, dark granite and dried black currant. Background tones of wild sage, balsam herb and tar give the wine a greater sense of dimension and depth. The finish is balanced and silky in texture, yet Nerello Mascalese always delivers a firm tannic backbone. Graci lets the fruit speak for itself." Robert Parker

"The fresh blue fruit on the nose is so enticing, ranging from blueberries to black raspberries and elderberries. Plenty of floral undertones, too. The palate is so polished and precise with crunchy acidity and a firm tannin structure." James Suckling

"Aromas of lemon and stone with some slate follow through to a full body and plenty of tropical fruit character such as mango. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

"A graceful, medium-bodied white, enlivened by lively acidity and a streak of spicy mineral that's well-meshed to the pretty flavors of nectarine and lemon pith, showing an aromatic touch of fresh chervil on the lingering finish." Wine Spectator

"Graci produces some of the finest wines on Etna. The 2015 Etna Bianco Arcurìa is a delightful wine that absolutely revives and refreshes the palate with each beautiful sip. It is fragrant and fresh but it also offers a very firm sense of depth. The bouquet opens to salty mineral tones with lighter layers of white peach and tangerine skin. The Arcurìa vineyard, located just opposite the Graci palmento and winery." Robert Parker

Arcuria - ein Etna Rosso in hellem Rubin und mit feinem Bouquet aus Himbeeren, Kräutern und Orangenschalen. Fester, geradliniger Geschmack. dem Terroir entsprechende mineralische Anklänge. seidene Tannine und ein frischer Abgang. (superiore.de)

"The 2014 Etna Rosso Arcurìa shows a deep garnet color with dark ruby reflections. The bouquet offers immediate intensity in the form of ripe fruit, dark plum, cherry confit, spice and toasted chestnut. It shows roundness and softness that only comes in warm and long vintages, much like the trouble-free 2014 growing season. The finish is slightly sweet and chewy." Robert Parker

"A firm and linear red with raspberry and lemon-rind aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine tannins and a fresh finish." James Suckling

"An aromatic thread of tea rose and anise and an earthy touch of fresh porcino mushroom unravel through this well-meshed red, which layers juicy wild strawberry and cherry fruit with grippy tannins and a streak of smoky mineral. Long and complex on the fragrant finish." Wine Spectator

"The firm tannins that were evident when the wine was released have now harmonised. The nose is delicate and fragrant but lively, with raspberry and mint aromas. It's very concentrated and sleek, with a finish that's packed with spice and pepper. It's elegant and long, making this an exceptional result from a hot year." Decanter

"Bright red-ruby. Wild, musky, youthfully reticent aromas of raspberry, flint and espresso are lifted by a pretty violet topnote. Concentrated but refined at once, showing outstanding density of texture and very pure, graceful flavors of red berries, red cherry and minerals. Saline and smoky mineral nuances stain the palate on the long, elegant finish. Knockout Etna Rosso from what is in my opinion a true grand cru among Etna’s many contrade." Ian d'Agata

"Very pale ruby with watery rim. Pure, stony, raspberry nose. Light, elegant palate with lots of chewy tannins on the finish. Very tactile, chewy and long." Jancis Robinson

"This is not considered an easy vintage on Etna, but Graci has pulled off stellar results regardless. I am impressed by the elegance shown by this wine. The 2015 Etna Rosso Arcurìa demonstrates the enormous strides made by this landmark winery. The mouthfeel is silky and bright and almost weightless in texture. Don't be misled, because there is enormous structure, power and firmness too, although it is almost undeclared at the outset. The wine sneaks up on you and builds in upward momentum, thanks to bright cherry, dark mineral and licorice flavors." Robert Parker

"The 2015 vintage is similar to 2013 but a notch superior overall. The rose-petal aromas are beguiling, lifting the discreet red-fruit character. It's still dense and concentrated, with firm tannins, but the lively acidity gives remarkable persistence. Approachable now, but will surely repay cellaring." Decanter

"Really exotic with strawberry and apricot character. Some pumice, too. Full body, chewy yet so lively and energetic. Love the finish." James Suckling

Funkelndes Rubin. Erdige Noten, etwas Trüffel, dann viel Brombeere. Rund und geschmeidig in Ansatz und Verlauf, öffnet sich mit feinmaschigem Tannin, umhüllt von süßem Schmelz, im Finale mineralische Anklänge, etwas schwarzer Tee und ein fester Druck. (superiore.de)

"Very tight and closed. Focused linear fruit and with a fine grip. Fine and long." Jancis Robinson

"This is fantastic and extremely rich with so much dark fruit and minerals as well as black tea undertones. Full body, chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Needs three or four years to soften." James Suckling
