More about Tenuta Delle Terre Nere

Tenuta delle Terre Nere, and Marco de Grazia, the winegrower at its helm, have made an indelible mark on Sicily’s Mount Etna and the way we think about the wines produced there.

Etna is home to some of the world’s most distinct and captivating terroirs, and its noble grapes — the red Nerello Mascalese and the white Carricante — capture the unmistakable earthy minerality of this active volcano. Yes, that’s right: Etna has erupted several times in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and still, winemakers like de Grazia make it their life’s work to tend these treacherous volcanic terroirs.

In a way, the mountain acts as a study in contradictions. Though Etna sits closer to Africa than to Rome, the high elevations at which the vines are planted offer a respite from the heat of the southern Mediterranean, and harvests extend late into the fall. In fact, the peak is typically blanketed in snow from October to April. Volcanic soils can be quite fertile, yet growing conditions (not to mention the threat of total destruction) make agriculture extremely difficult.

De Grazia, along with other top Etna winemakers like Benanti, Cornelissen, and the late Andrea Franchetti, has championed the concept of Contrada-specific bottlings. These somewhat loosely-defined vineyard designations offer a fascinating look into the drastic variations of Etna’s terroir. Even within a short distance from each other, the contrade can exhibit drastically different soil types (every eruption changes the composition of the soil, and there have been a lot of eruptions).

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Grilled sea bass or swordfish with lemon, pasta con le sarde, raw oysters and clams, or salt-baked branzino. Also lovely with prosciutto and melon.

Tasting Profile

Dry white built on Carricante, with green apple, lemon peel and white flowers over a smoky, ashy volcanic edge. Medium-light in body, bright and saline, with firm acidity and a dry mineral finish that runs longer than you expect. No oak at any stage, so the volcano comes through unmasked.
