His company, Marc de Grazia Selections, which he started in 1980, count amongst its clients many of Italy’s most prestigious wine estates.

In 2002, Marc decided to venture into making wine and purchased his own domain on the north-facing hillside of Mount Etna. Rapidly these wines have turned heads and soon they will believe that they will be considered amongst the best in Sicily.

The vineyards have been farmed organically since 2007. The reds, grown on Etna’s volcanic soil are made with nerello mascalese and nerello cappuccio. The entry level cuvée, the Etna Rosso is all about the succulent fruit and shows remarkable complexity considering the price of the bottle. The crus, Santo Spirito, Guardiola, Calderara Sottana and Feudo di Mezzo, each have their own distinct personality, and with a purity and elegance that show why this exceptional terroir should be mentioned in the same breath as the Côte d’Or and Piedmont. The cuvée Prephylloxera, made with vines planted in 1870 on the cru Calderara Sottana, is a wine that we’re confidant will be recognized as one of the great wines of Italy.
