Etna Rosso 2021 Federico Graziani 75 cl

Description

History

Federico Graziani began in the world of wine very early, at just 15 years old he enrolled in sommelier courses and in 1998 at just 23 years old he won the competition as the best sommelier in Italy at 23 years old. This allowed him to gain experience alongside big names such as Gualtieri Marchesi, Stefano Cavallino, Bruno Loubet, Cracco Aimo and Nadia Moroni. Finally in 2006 he deepened his studies and obtained a degree in Oenology and met Salvo Foti who encouraged him to become a producer. By chance he learned of a century-old vineyard that was about to be uprooted in Passopisciaro, so he decided to buy it and a few years later his first wine was released: Profumo di Vulcano. The fruit of an encounter with the traditions and flavors of a unique territory.
