Notes from Skurnik:
"Proprietor Marc de Grazia is one of the pioneers of the Etna. Not only was he among the first producers to recognize the value of these once-forgotten, ancient terroirs, he also was the first producer to bring attention to the specific qualities of these vineyards by bottling single-parcel Nerellos that have become reference-point wines for the Etna.
100% Carricante. Calderara displays a wide spectrum of flavors, bouquets and nuances; floral and spicy, leathery and aromatic, it delivers a wonderful filling sensation on the palate.
