"Betörendes Bouquet von exotischen Früchten, Blüten, Macchia; am Gaumen salzig-mineralisch, nobel und präzise im Finish. Ein Wein mit Zukunft." Vinum

"Opening to a pale and very elegant pink color, the Graci 2017 Etna Rosato is a satisfying rosé to pair with shellfish or summer salads. There is a note of sweetness, like raspberry tart on the finish. This is an easy wine but also a very refreshing one." Robert Parker

"This creamy rosé offers lively acidity and a zesty edge to the flavors of white cherry, kumquat, smoke and spice. Firm and focused." Wine Spectator

"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

"The 2017 Etna Bianco is a blend of 70% Carricante with 30% Catarratto. Compared to many of its peers, this expression from Graci offers more textural richness and fruity volume. The bouquet delivers stone fruit, honeydew melon and candied lemon peel." Robert Parker

"A firm and dense white, yet ever so fresh and vivid. Medium to full body with linear acidity that gives it form and drive." James Suckling

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

"The Graci 2016 Etna Rosso is a mid-weight wine from the Sicilian volcano with pretty berry nuances followed by smoke, tar and light spice. The wine is moderate in mouthfeel intensity with polished, silky tannins. This vintage presents a more informal and accessible style that is ideal for near and medium-term drinking." 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

"A finely meshed red, with round and creamy tannins woven with a subtle streak of smoky mineral." Wine Spectator

Frischer Weißer von alten Reben mit belebendem Zitrusduft, reich nach tropischen Früchten, straff und fest, mit eleganter mineralischer Note am Gaumen und von hoher Komplexität. SUPERIORE.DE

"Nach Blüten duftend, auch Mango- und Minznoten; mineralisch-salziger Verlauf, von der Säure belebt, kombiniert Schliff und Länge." Vinum

"The 2016 Etna Bianco Arcurìa shows a layered bouquet with ripe fruit, stone fruit and candied lemon. This vintage seems to have produced a creamier, slightly heavier style. The mouthfeel is moderate in length with medium acidity on the close." 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 (vinous.com)

"Duftet stimmig nach Blüten, roten Waldfrüchten und etwas Pfeffer. Robuste und doch frische Textur, gefällt mit seiner Substanz, der furchtigen Länge, der Fülle und der expressiven Mineralität." Vinum

"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
