FEDERICO GRAZIANI

FEDERICO GRAZIANI HIS WINES, HIS HISTORY AND HIS TERRITORY.

"You can't really understand a wine unless you know its origins."

I came here for the first time in 2006, invited by my friend Salvo Foti, to visit the ancient local production areas and deepen my knowledge of Etna wines. I wanted to find out what it was about these wines that attracted me so much, what was hidden behind their distinctive taste and aromatic complexity. I could not imagine that that short trip was actually the beginning of a new life for me. It was by chance that, having heard of a century-old vineyard that was about to be uprooted in the hamlet of Passopisciaro, I decided to buy it to prevent such a small corner of the territory but so rich in history from being erased from the map. Years later, thanks to the collaboration with I Vigneri, I began producing my first wine, Profumo di Vulcano, with the precious support of Salvo Foti and Maurizio Pagano. A wine that expresses my desire to share the value of a special experience. The fruit of an encounter with the traditions and flavors of a unique land.

It was 1990 when, at just fifteen years old, Federico Graziani decided to enroll in the first sommelier course to follow his passion: a passion that would soon become his job, radically changing his life. A professional since the age of 19, at 23 he won the AIS competition as the best sommelier in Italy 1998, an achievement that offered him the opportunity to work at a high level alongside Gualtiero Marchesi, Stefano Cavallini, Bruno Loubet, Carlo Cracco, Aimo and Nadia Moroni.

My vineyards are located on the slopes of Etna, between 600 and 1200 meters above sea level on the north and north-west sides. A mysterious and special place, a unique ecosystem in the world characterized by extraordinary climatic variability and a landscape rich in contrasts and life.

It is precisely by living in symbiosis with the volcano and adapting to the strength and unpredictability of its elements that here, for over 2000 years, vines have been cultivated in small plots of land torn from the mountain. A slow and ancient work, done by hand with effort, passion and respect.
