There's a lovely sweetness to the dried raspberry and strawberry fruit in this lithe, elegant, medium-bodied red, with supple tannins and juicy acidity forming a finely woven frame for the fruit and fragrant tea rose, sandalwood, anise and mineral notes. A stunner. Drink now through 2029. 750 cases made, 230 cases imported.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
The legend of Etna, Terre Nere, has reached near mythical status for the sommelier community the savviest wine geeks out there. These wine are impossible to acquire at retail so we are pretty stoked to have a few cases to offer, especially at this excellent price.
“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.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous

About the Producer
The Terre Nere estate is located on the northern slopes of Mt. Etna with vineyards between the village of Solicchiata and the town of Randazzo, the area historically recognized as the finest in the appellation for red wines. The property consists of over 55 hectares, divided into 24 parcels in 5 crus, with a total vineyard surface of 27 hectares. Except for recent plantings of 7 hectares, the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappucio vines are between 50 and 120 years old. The soils differ greatly among the crus and even within the crus themselves. The same is true of the altitudes, with vineyards ranging between 600 and 900 meters above sea level. The estate is 100% Certified Organic.
