O VINARIJI / ABOUT THE WINERY
IDDA je zajednički pothvat Angela Gaje i Alberta Gracija na Etni koji je započeo 2017. Obitelj Graci istaknuti je vinar u regiji.
Vinogradi se nalaze na južnoj padini vulkana, sa širokim rasponom nadmorskih visina, izloženosti i vrsta tla. Danas vinarija posjeduje 50 hektara vinograda na 2000-2600 metara nadmorske visine, u selima Belpasso i Biancavilla.
Nova vinarija bit će izgrađena u Belpassu, spremna dočekati svoju prvu berbu 2023. Do tada će se vina nastaviti proizvoditi u pogonu Alberta Gracija u Passopisciaru na sjevernoj padini.
“IDDA” znači “ona” na sicilijanskom dijalektu, što je izraz koji lokalno stanovništvo koristi za označavanje vulkana Etna. Etikete vina evociraju višestruke aspekte lokalnog terena kao što su boje lave i mora, trodimenzionalna nadmorska visina planine i terase vinograda. Spirala je drevni simbol koji bilježi ciklički kontinuitet, širenje i razvoj.
IDDA is a joint venture between Angelo Gaja and Alberto Graci on Mount Etna that started in 2017. 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. Today, the winery owns 50 acres of vineyards at 2,000-2,600 feet above sea level, in the villages of Belpasso and Biancavilla.
The new winery will be built in Belpasso, ready to welcome its first harvest in 2023. Until then, the wines will continue to be made in Alberto Graci’s facility in Passopisciaro in the north slope.
“IDDA” means “she” in the Sicilian dialect, which is the term local residents use to refer to the Etna volcano. The wines’ labels are evocative of multiple aspects of the local terrain such as the colors of the lava and of the sea, the tridimensional altitude of the mountain and the terraces of the vineyards. The spiral is an ancient symbol that captures cyclic continuity, expansion and development.
