Graci 2009 Quota 600 Nerello Mascalese (Etna)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $46
Quota 600 is one of the protagonists of a new class of wines from the Etna denomination. Sourced from 600 meters above sea level on the slopes of the volcano, the wine shows delicate nuances of small berry, mountain herb, cola and wet river stone. Tight tannins and firm structure give it momentum on the finish.  — M.L.  (4/1/2012)
