Etna Bianco, IDDA (Gaja & Graci) 2023 (750 ml)
94 poena - James Suckling
Započet 2016. godine, IDDA je zajednički poduhvat Angela Gaje i Alberta Gračija na planini Etna. Porodica Grači je istaknuti proizvođač vina u ovom regionu. Vinarije se nalaze na južnoj padini vulkana, sa širokim spektrom nadmorskih visina, ekspozicija i tipova zemljišta. „IDDA“ na sicilijanskom dijalektu znači „ona“ — izraz koji lokalni stanovnici koriste kada govore o vulkanu Etna. Etikete vina evociraju razne aspekte lokalnog pejzaža, poput boja lave i mora, trodimenzionalne visine planine i terasa vinograda.
Napravljen isključivo od sorte Carricante, ovo vino nudi mediteranske arome citrusa (limun, narandža, grejpfrut), koštunjavog voća (zrela breskva, nektarina, kajsija), jasmina i mineralne note. Na nepcu je vino kompleksno, sa sočnim i osvježavajućim utiscima koje prate blago slane mineralne nijanse. Njegova izražena kisjelost i svježina pojačavaju voćno-mineralne ukuse, što ga čini izvanrednim izborom za tople dane, kao i odličnim parom uz salate, morske plodove i lagane rižote.

Begun in 2016, IDDA is a joint venture between Angelo Gaja and Alberto Graci on Mount Etna. The Graci family is a prominent winemaker in the region. The vineyards are located on the southern slope of the volcano, with a wide range of altitudes, exposures and soil types. “IDDA” means “she” in the Sicilian dialect, which is the term local residents use torefer to the Etna volcano. The labels are evocative of multiple aspects of the local terrain such as the colours of the lava and of the sea, the tridimensional altitude of the mountain and the terraces of the vineyards.
Made from 100% Carricante, the wine offers Mediterranean aromas of citrus fruits (lemon, orange, grapefruit), stone fruits (ripe peach, nectarine, apricot), jasmine, and a mineral note. The palate is complex, featuring juicy and refreshing sensations followed by lightly salty mineral impressions. Its acidity and freshness amplify the fruity-mineral flavours and make this a terrific wine to enjoy in warm weather and to match with salads, seafood and light risottos.
