Graci Etna Rosso D.O.C. 2023 from the lava‑soils of Mt Etna is a thrilling, pale ruby Sicilian red that channels volcanic energy into a beautifully fragrant, mid‑weight style ideal for Australian wine lovers seeking savoury complexity over sheer power.

The nose brims with wild cherries, raspberries, watermelon rind, blood orange, violets and dried herbs, laced with hints of pumice, ash, black tea and spice. On the palate, Graci Etna Rosso DOC 2023 is medium‑bodied with juicy red berries, taut acidity, fine mineral tannins and a long, earthy, saline finish that feels like a cross between Pinot and Nebbiolo.

It’s superb with wood‑fired pizza, grilled lamb chops, porchetta, barbecued eggplant, tuna with tomatoes and capers, or a simple plate of pecorino and aged provolone, shining at both refined dinners and relaxed weeknight pasta. Serve slightly chilled for summer drinking or at cellar temperature on cooler nights.
