Class has filled but we are accepting wait list requests. Although Marco de Grazia released his first vintages of these wines in 2002, most of the vines date back decades and some are pre-phylloxera (140+ years old). Join us for a deep-dive into Etna, a region Marco calls “The Burgundy of the Mediterranean.” We are lucky to have access to wines with some age on them and this should allow us to see more of what they will become than you can with the current releases. Marco was a pioneer of bottling wines from contrade (single vineyards) and of putting them in Burgundy-shaped bottles. Etna reds are often compared to Pinot Noir and Nebbiolo but let’s decide for ourselves after tasting. We will begin with three whites from the 2019 vintage, which should offer good insight into the terroir. Seven reds will follow, most of them from the 2018 vintage for more terroir insight but there will be a vintage comparison as well with 2018 and 2020 versions of the same wine.
