Marc de Grazia is a vocal enthusiast of Nebbiolo and Pinot Noir, so it's no surprise that he would include the indigenous grapes of Mount Etna, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, on his list of favorite varieties. These grapes all share similar characteristics: They are delicately nuanced and complex on the nose with a silky but firm quality of tannin. And, they all show long aging potential.
