Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Nose The smell is complex and honest. Attractive, ethereal, with flavours of dried fruits and liquorice, pleasantly spicy.
Palate Well structured, warm, elegant, with tobacco notes and dried fruits as well as vanilla notes. The mouth reveals a very pleasant evolution of flavours which express themselves with elegance and balance.
Colour Nice dark ruby red, with garnet nuances

Making Techniques Careful selection of the Negroamaro bunches at the old bush-trained vineyard. The name of the wine comes from “graticciaia”, the loft where the grapes are ripened on bamboo-cane mats. Once withered, grapes go to vinification. The grapes are fermented in late Autumn, and the cooler temperatures at this time of the year produce different vilification outcomes. This gives Graticciaia its uniqueness!
Closure Cork
Cellaring/Ageing Potential A wine with a great personality, which will improve with some years in the bottle.
