Federico Graziani vineyards follow the traditional model known as 'alberello viticulture', which is typical of the Etna area. The vines are not arranged in rows: each is treated as an individual plant and placed at an equal distance from the others on all sides, supported by a chestnut post.

This ensures more room for the roots, better irradiation and ventilation, and a geometry that makes pruning and harvesting easier – two activities that are still chiefly carried out by hand. After all, a well-tended and healthy vine will bear good fruit.

Our Recommendation:  Ideal to be paired with light pasta dishes, grilled vegetables, red meat and poultry. Prepare a delicious aperitif with cold cuts and mild cheeses and enjoy the perfect paring.

Allergens: Sulphites
