A pure expression of oak-aged Carricante, the Graci 2018 Etna Bianco Arcurìa boasts a pretty golden hue and a touch of waxy honey in its luminous appearance. The bouquet opens to preserved lemon, apricot and toasted pine nut. There are hints of exotic spice with cumin and saffron that add more aromatic highlights. The wine sports a slight oxidative or open-knit personality, with candied orange and almond paste, that give this vintage a heavier and fatter overall personality. Mineral notes also appear and help to put the bouquet into better perspective.
