Federico Graziani Profumo di Vulcano Rosso is a unique and elegant wine from Etna region in Sicily, Italy. Cultivated in the La Vigna Giardino, a microcosm of culture and biodiversity, this wine originates from a small vineyard established in the late 19th century. Situated on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, at 600 meters above sea level, in Contrada Feudo di Mezzo, the vines are sheltered from strong southerly winds. This unique location results in a daily summer temperature range of approximately 28°C, ensuring a prolonged grape ripening period that enhances the wine's richness and complexity. The vineyard is a harmonious blend of pre-phylloxera plants, around 100 years old, featuring indigenous Etna varieties such as Nerello Mascalese and Cappuccio, Alicante (Grenache), and Francisi, alongside white grape varieties. The winemaking process includes spontaneous fermentation in open vats, with no temperature control and indigenous yeasts. The wine then matures for 24 months in first and second-passage tonneaux, followed by an additional 6 months in the bottle. This meticulous craftsmanship produces a wine that is a true expression of its terroir. Expect a sensory journey with nuanced flavors and a complex structure, making Federico Graziani Profumo di Vulcano Etna Rosso a captivating and authentic representation of its volcanic origin.
