We are pleased to offer the upcoming release of the Tenuta delle Terre Nere contrada. Owner Marco di Grazia classifies these single vineyard areas on Mount Etna in Sicily as the area's Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines. Over the past twenty years or so, these wines have become some of the most sought-after and allocated wines in the world. We have been offering these to you since the first vintage release.
White
Marco di Grazia’s whites are made native Carricante, grown superior vineyard sites on Mt Etna where it reaches its pinnacle of quality. The grapes benefit from high variations in day and night temperatures and a long growing season.
These wines age very well because of their natural high acidity. When young, you will find aromas and flavors of green apple, citrus, and salinity. As the wines age the natural minerality increases along with notes of petrol and flavors of ripe peach. Every time you open a bottle, the wine will show new, subtle, and balanced nuance. All of these wines are Excellent.
