Established by Marc de Grazia, a prominent figure of the Barolo movement, Tenuta delle Terre Nere’s estate spans 55 hectares on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna.
Etna Rosso Prephylloxera Terre Nere 2022 is a notable expression of the Nerello Mascalese grape, sourced from the historic pre-phylloxera vineyards, some of the oldest vineyards in the area. This wine undergoes 18 months of maturation in French oak barriques, and with an annual production of around 4,000 bottles, it offers a unique glimpse into Sicily`s vinous heritage.

Vinous
Darkly alluring and youthfully backward, the 2022 Etna Rosso Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino Calderara Sottana smolders up with a blend of sweet spices, dusty violets and ash, giving way to dried black cherries, sage and cloves. This is velvety yet finessed, with a polished wave of ripe red and blue fruit that flows across a juicy stream of acidity. Hints of sour citrus add contrast toward the close. It finishes remarkably fresh and energetic, still tannic but lively, as crunchy tannins resonate and an air of lavender slowly fades. This is an elegant and genuinely harmonious edition of this cuvée. Simply stunning.
