“Terre Nere’s wines all possessed unbelievable freshness and complexity as well as huge perfumes that suggested Pinot Noir…These wines are astonishingly complex and ethereal efforts from the hillsides of Mt. Etna in Sicily.” – Robert Parker
The wines of Terre Nere are from slope on the North of Mt Etna, most between 50-100 yrs old and one parcel having survived the phylloxera is 130-140 years old. Varying in elevation from 600-1000m and soils that change even within the individual crus themselves, these are wines that speak to a place.
The grapes for this extraordinary wine come from two parcels in the Calderara Vineyard, that survived the phylloxera. This makes them at least 130 years old and they grow on their original rootstock! First vinified separate from the rest of the vineyard in 2006, these wines are intense, complex and concentrated, but display a remarkable elegance and balance. A true treat.
