95pts James Suckling

This shows a very attractive, savory character with red cherries and raspberries, accompanied with dried summer herbs, candied orange and red spices. Dry earth, too. Medium- to full-bodied. Very even and seamless tannin structure. Refined and polished with a dusty earthiness that leads to a dry, delicate finish. Drink or hold.

93pts Wine Spectator

Minerally on the nose, with stone, smoke and fresh earth accents transitioning on the plushly creamy palate to underscore an expressive bouquet of ripe wild strawberry, cherry glacé, dried thyme, graphite and fresh pepper. The long finish is well-spiced. Drink now through 2031.

Winemaker Notes

Pale ruby in color with a strong bouquet of rich ripe fruit and spice on the nose. Structured on the palate, full and complex with smooth tannins. Pairs well with meats and seasoned cheeses.

Winery Notes

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is the fruit of over 30 years of passion and work in the world of fine wine.

And an extraordinary location, as well - this "island within an island" that is the Etna. A place where nature is prodigal but also severe. And here they try with all their heart to express as purely as possible the refined and multifaceted microcosm of this ancient volcanic land. With respect, care and hard farm work, always in organic balance.
