About the wine
Marc de Grazia acquired the winery a good 15 years ago and found a worldwide community of lovers with his vineyard red wines within a few years. The focus is now also on white wines and not to forget Rosato. Tenuta delle Terre Nere is located on the northern flanks of Etna in Sicily. The estate covers an area of 30 hectares and is divided into ten plots and four crus (Calderara Sottana, Guardiola, Feudo di Mezzo, Santo Spirito). Most vines are between 50 and 100 years old. One plot is even planted with 140-year-old vines, which survived phylloxera back then.

Tasting note
The nose is extremely complex with notes of lemons, orange peel and green apples, accompanied by Mediterranean herbs and dried flowers as well as spicy notes. Fresh and full on the palate with lots of flavor. The long aftertaste ends on vanilla notes. A great and elegant white Etna wine!
Vinification
The selected grapes are harvested manually at the end of September, gently pressed and then fermented at a cool temperature in 5 and 10 hl steel tanks. The wine is then aged for nine months in French barriques and a further eight months in the bottle. During the time spent in barriques, biological acid degradation also takes place.
