"Dusty and floral, the 2024 Etna Rosato lifts up with a delicate mix of peach, ripe melon and minty herbs. It's juicy in character with crisp white cherry-berry tones that resonate. The 2024 tapers off with a gentle tension as hints of wild strawberry slowly fade." —Eric Guido

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

Herb-rubbed grilled lamb or pork, roast chicken with olives, mushroom pappardelle, or eggplant parmigiana. Aged pecorino works too.

Tasting Profile

Dry red from Nerello Mascalese with a splash of Nerello Cappuccio: bright red cherry, dried flowers, black pepper and a smoky volcanic undertone. Medium-bodied and silky, with fresh acidity and fine, powdery tannins on a mineral finish. Pale in the glass and closer to Pinot Noir in weight than anything you would expect from Sicily.
