Prasià - Moscato di Noto D.O.C. - Poggio Graffetta
€15.00
The Prasià from the Graffetta winery located at Ispica near Siracusa in south-eastern Sicily. The 8 years old Moscato vines grow in silt and clayey soil near the sea at an altitude of 60 m. The sun-drenched territory combined with the summer breezes combine to create a particularly favourable environment for winemaking in this region – particulary for Moscato Bianco and Nero d’Avolo vines. This is a golden yellow wine with aromatic notes of peach, citrus and candied fruit in the bouquet. The taste is fresh, savory, mineral and harmonious.

Wine-growing culture in this south-eastern area of Sicily dates back to the traditions of the 18th-century, a period when the region was essentially a vast fiefdom of noble families that managed the region’s rural areas for long periods. Until a few decades ago, the difficult, laborious cultivation of Nero d’Avola and Moscato was carried out manually with the help of mules to drain the land and to transport the wine barrels from the winery to the retailers. The tradition of bottled wine, on the other hand, is a very recent chapter in this region.
The Graffetta winery is owned by the “Tenute Calì” wine group based in Tuscany. They acquired the winery with its 22 hectares of vineyards in 2004. The family behind has a passion for agriculture, good wine and outstanding products and the ambition to continuously improve quality through experience obtained from harvest to harvest.
