95 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Boasting silky finesse, the Graci 2020 Etna Rosso Arcuria has aromas and flavors of ripe strawberry, red cherry, eucalyptus and wet stone. The aromas carry through to the polished palate along with blood orange, graphite and star anise while refined tannins and fresh acidity provide lithe support and balance. Drink through 2030. (Sep 2023)"
94 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "[$85 list] Dusty and floral, the 2020 Etna Rosso Arcuria slowly opens with a whiff of chalk dust and sage that gives way to violet pastille and crushed blackberries. This is pure elegance, silky and refined, with a lovely inner sweetness and cooling acidity that soothes and invigorates the palate. It finishes spicy and tannic with admirable length, leaving pretty inner florals and a bitter tinge slowly fading. It will be years before the Arcuria fully blossoms, but it will be time well spent. Drink: 2026-2032. (Sep 2023)"
94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "A very different wine next to the Feudo di Mezzo, the Graci 2020 Etna Rosso Arcurìa carries more fruit weight and a savory personality with blackcurrant, tea leaf, tobacco and maybe a hint of exotic spice. The tannins are more prominent here, and the wine's concentration is definitely upped a notch or two in terms of intensity. The Contrada Arcurìa sits at 650 meters in elevation. Only 5,300 bottles were made. Drink: 2024-2035. (6/30/23)"
93 points Falstaff Guide: "Shimmering cherry red. Ripe raspberries and candied rosehips on the nose, with elegant hints of smoky tones and delicate nuances of tea on the finish. On the palate with grippy tannins, showing clear, radiant fruit, closely interwoven with fine earthy, stony nuances, with pressure and a delicately bitter finish. (Oct 2022)"
