{"product_id":"federico-graziani-etna-rosso-2024","title":"Federico Graziani Etna Rosso 2024","description":"\u003cp\u003eFederico Graziani Etna Rosso 2024 is a bright, expressive red wine that captures the pure character of Etna’s volcanic slopes. Built on Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, it combines freshness, elegance, and a distinctly mineral edge, while its NFC-labeled bottle also speaks to authenticity and traceability. It’s a modern interpretation of one of Sicily’s most historic wine regions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a pale, transparent ruby hue that immediately suggests finesse rather than weight. The nose is fragrant and inviting, with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and a subtle citrus lift reminiscent of mandarin, all framed by a vivid volcanic energy.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is lively and harmonious, with fine tannins, clean fruit, and a juicy, refreshing profile. A gentle touch of vanilla and white chocolate from élevage in third-use barrels adds polish without masking the wine’s varietal character, while the mineral finish gives it excellent balance and immediate drinking appeal. It is enjoyable now, but can also develop added nuance over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from vineyards on Etna’s northern slope, between Passopisciaro and Montelaguardia, where high-altitude vines grow in sandy soils rich in stones and volcanic lava. This rugged terroir, shaped by the mountain’s unique microclimate, encourages balanced ripening and gives the wine its unmistakable freshness and mineral drive.\n\nFermentation takes place spontaneously in stainless steel with native yeasts to preserve the purity of the fruit and the aromatic identity of the grape varieties. The wine is then matured for 12 months in third-passage barrels, followed by a further six months in bottle, allowing it to gain texture and harmony while remaining faithful to its volcanic origins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a versatile food wine that works beautifully with seafood, shellfish, and delicate white meats such as roast chicken or turkey. It also pairs well with Mediterranean dishes, grilled vegetables, and lighter pasta recipes. Serve it slightly chilled, ideally around 14-16°C, and decanting is optional—though a brief aeration can help open up the aromatics in its youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFederico Graziani is strongly associated with wines that express Etna’s identity with clarity and precision, and this Etna Rosso reflects that philosophy well. The vineyards are set in a picturesque “garden” landscape on the volcano’s northern slope, surrounded by ancient olive trees and rooted in centuries of Sicilian winemaking tradition. The producer’s attention to authenticity is reinforced by the innovative NFC label system, which certifies each bottle’s originality and highlights a commitment to transparency and quality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Federico Graziani","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54434191671633,"sku":"XW-62242","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/federico-graziani-etna-rosso-2024","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
