Graci 2014

Alberto Graci gave up his work as a banker in Milan to work as a winemaker like his grandfather. Situated at Passopisciaro, Graci’s Etna Rosso is made and aged in cement. Fantastically fresh and the tannins are impressive and proud. 96 Drink 2017-2021

Vini Franchetti, Passorosso 2014

A Nerello Mascalese of great purity and freshness from 70- to 100-year-old bush vines. The grapes are selected from a range of contrade at different altitudes and soils and the wine is bottled unfiltered from large, neutral oak barrels. 94 Drink 2018-2022

Pietro Caciorgna, Guardoilvento 2014

Paolo Caciorgna’s wines show real flair and energy: vivid aromas and flavours with a mango and peach hint and an intensely primary fresh red fruitiness. You almost feel light-headed after a taste – rather apt as these are wines made from some of the highest vineyards in Europe. 92 Drink 2017-2022
