Graziani Rosso di Mezzo Etna Rosso 2022
Rosso di Mezzo was born in one of the most complicated vintages of the Volcano. In fact, 2018 was a very rainy year, bringing with it all the related problems.
Federico Graziani initially chose to "downgrade" the Profumo di Vulcano wine deriving from his oldest vineyard and on Franco foot, the same vineyard with which Etna conquered it. On balance he is the first to think that a wine like this will hardly be able to propose it again.
The grapes of Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Alicante and Francisi give life to a great volcanic red. It ferments in open vats on indigenous yeasts and ages 24 months in steel and 6 in the bottle.
Intense ruby red color, deep and transparent. The nose offers breadth, with an infinite and subtle spectrum. Chimney ash and tangerine take on the semblance of Burgundy. A very fine hand managed to turn a difficult vintage into a unique work.
