Graci Etna Rosso Arcuria Sopra Il Pozzo DOC 2017

A small elevated terrace on Contrada Arcuria has produced a very special wine every year. Here are 2 ha with Albarello Nerrelo Mascalese.

The wine has always been light like a Barolo Monprivato, but also elegant as such.

Alberto has every year mixed the juice in his regular Arcuria, but in 2015, for the first time ever, he has vinified the juice entirely himself.

The result is Arcuria Sopra il Pozzo , loosely translated OVER THE WELL, alluding to the river that flows beneath this terrace.

2000 bottles have been made. The wine is fantastically elegant, and it resembles great classic Barolo as much as great Pinot Noir.

This is only the second vintage of this wine. The wine has fermented in a large tin without temperature control and skin contact for a long time. 18 months in tin followed by at least 12 months in bottle.

The wine is organic like everything else from Graci.

When buying 6 pieces, the wine is in OWC.
