I found this wine delicious. Lithe, integrated, good structure. Notes of cardamom, orange, cranberry and rhubarb. Some white pepper and good minerality. Bright acids. I really enjoyed it.

A medium ruby wine

First vintage of a joint venture between two important Italian wine families. Bright ruby color. Black cherry and mulberry fruit on the nose with an intense hit of volcanic ash and soft herbal hints. Ripe red fruit flavors with a flinty note on the finish. Medium bodied with intense acidity. Polished. Good food wine.

Deliciously juicy Gaja and Graci collaboration from the southern slopes of Mt. Etna on the island of Sicily. A volcanic blend of 90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Nerello Cappuccio. Vintage 2017; ABV 14.5% I love that this wine was named Idda (‘she’) referring with admiration to the majestic Mt. Etna. This wine is ripe with notes of cherry, kirsch, alongside tomato leaf, mint, cardamom, crushed stone and flinty minerality.
