Etna Rosso DOC Tenuta delle Terre Nere 2013
The wine
This red is produced from local grape varieties Nerello Mascalese (95%) and Nerello Cappuccio (5%). It's a blend of young and old vines (6 to 50 years old) and is matured for a year in barrels, before being bottled. The north-facing vines confer great elegance.
About the Producer Tenuta delle Terre Nere
La Tenuta Delle Terre Nere (“domain of the black soils”) was created in 2002 by Marco de Grazia, who had until then worked in the business of selling fine Italian wines since 1980. Situated on the northern slope of Etna, the vineyard obtained organic certification in 2010, though the vines have been cultivated following organic principles since 2002. The vineyard is spread over more than 30 hectares divided into around fifty parcels, at altitudes of between 600 and 1000m. The vines are between 50 and 140 years old. The wines are vinified in barrels and stainless-steel vats with ambient yeasts and the wines then mature in French oak barrels for 16 to 20 months, with a maximum of 15% new oak. One of the finest producers in the Etna region.
