Ripe tropical fruits of persimmon and mango followed by golden apple and honeysuckle aromas. Rich and creamy on the palate, finished with a phenolic aftertaste. Long and complex. Drink now or hold.

Floral and fragrant on first nose (especially compared to the Muganazzi), the Graci 2023 Etna Bianco Arcurìa reveals hints of plumeria, grapefruit and almond blossom. The aromas are all very Sicilian in personality, with the herbal and citrus aromas that waft across the island on a spring afternoon. There are salty marine and volcanic nuances as well, to complete a pretty portrait of the grape. (ML)

The 2023 Etna Bianco Arcuria opens with an understated and dusty blend of white flowers, confectioner's spice and white peaches. It's soothingly round and silken in feel, showing amazing concentration while remaining completely fresh. Ripe apple and pear notes swirl across a core of juicy acidity. This cleans up beautifully, mineral-intense and clean with a slightly salty note that keeps the palate salivating for more. (EG)

Notes

The 2023 Graci "Arcurìa" Etna Bianco is a vibrant, elegant, and highly mineral white wine, primarily made from the Carricante grape grown on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. The nose is intense and pure, offering notes of lemon oil, white peach, candied citrus, and white flowers, framed by striking hints of flint and savory herbs. On the palate, it is medium-to-full-bodied, tonic, and beautifully textured due to aging on the lees. Its vibrant, high acidity provides tremendous energy and focus, driving flavors of crisp green apple, powerful saline mineral, and lemon zest. The finish is long, savory, and refreshingly mineral. This wine perfectly captures the distinctive volcanic terroir, offering both depth and electric freshness.
