2020 Tenuta delle Terre Nere, Etna Rosso, Prephylloxera

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is located in Randazzo on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, where it maintains a focus on the region's unique volcanic viticulture. This specific bottling comes from two parcels of ungrafted vines over 140 years old, planted in shallow, rocky soil composed of pumice and volcanic ash. The wine is made from a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, offering a complex profile of strawberry, ash, and blood orange with a buoyantly weighted, chalky texture. The 2020 vintage provided the measured conditions necessary to yield a wine of focused, balanced character. This is an excellent choice for those who value historical significance in the glass and is built to reward further time in the cellar.
