Alberto Graci farms his vines on the northern slope of Etna, where some of the most exciting wines of Italy are currently being produced. 
Nerello Mascalese is very pale in colour, but certainly not lacking for flavour, and is the top-quality grape variety on Etna. Alberto's Vines are between 600-1000m in elevation, ensuring the wines have plenty of freshness, and the volcanic soil imparts a distinctive note to the wine.
There's lots of strawberry fruit, smoke, and a touch of blood orange. The palate is juicy and fresh, with a mineral quality and seamless tannins.
Etna wines can be quite intensely smokey, open this up a little before drinking, or even better, give it a decant for an hour to soften the wine and bring the fruit notes to the fore.
