Marco di Grazia’s whites are made native Carricante, grown superior vineyard sites on Mt Etna where it reaches its pinnacle of quality. The grapes benefit from high variations in day and night temperatures and a long growing season. These wines age very well because of their natural high acidity. Every time you open a bottle, the wine will show new, subtle, and balanced nuance. All of these wines are Excellent.
