91 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Made with a blend of 70% Carricante and 30% Catarratto, the 2016 Etna Bianco is a wine that invites easy (and happy) drinking. This is a streamlined and tonic expression with salty mineral tones followed by white peach and Golden Delicious apple. The Graci trademark is balance, and this wine shows impeccable harmony with a beautifully polished finish. Drink: 2017-2022. (Aug 2017)"
91 points and 'Year's Best Southern Italy,' Wine & Spirits: "[$32 list] Graci’s Etna Bianco feels fleshier than his Arcurìa bottling, with juicy peach flavors and notes of lime leaf. A cool stream of salinity infuses the wine with energy and brightness as it takes on notes of white smoke that linger on the finish. (Jun 2018)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "Light- to medium-bodied and well-cut, this balanced white offers a snappy mix of crunchy pear, apricot and preserved lemon, with an underpinning of smoke-tinged minerality that lingers on the finish. Drink now through 2023. 1,500 cases made. (6/15/18)"
