About Graci

A family winery on the northern slope of Etna

Graci was founded in 2005 in Passopisciaro, to make wines that are a true expression of this place.

Our vineyards lie in different contrade between 600 and 1,000 metres above sea level, each with its own exposure, altitude and volcanic soil. We grow the native grapes of Etna following organic principles and without herbicides, and some of our oldest vines are still on their own roots.

  • 600 to 1,000 metres
  • Organic farming
  • Native grapes
  • Ungrafted old vines
