Tenuta delle Terre Nere's 2022 Nerello Mascalese from Etna carries the mineral intensity and silky tannin structure that made these ancient volcanic slopes worth rediscovering, a wine with real backbone and the kind of freshness that keeps you coming back to the glass. Organic farming and single-parcel focus mean there's real terroir here, not just a pretty label. This is Etna doing what it does best: serious wine that doesn't need to announce itself.

Effortlessly integrates fine, taut tannins and plum skin"infused acidity, while the lasting finish echoes sandalwood, red licorice, sweet spice and mineral notes. Drink now through 2040."A.N.

About the Producer

“Proprietor Marc de Grazia is one of the pioneers of the Etna. Not only was he among the first producers to recognize the value of these once-forgotten, ancient terroirs, he also was the first producer to bring attention to the specific qualities of these vineyards by bottling single-parcel Nerellos that have become reference-point wines for the Etna.” – Wine Advocate “Terre Nere’s wines all possessed unbelievable freshness and complexity as well as huge perfumes that suggested Pinot Noir…These wines are astonishingly complex and ethereal efforts from the hillsides of Mt.
