“One of the most consistent and affordable reds coming out of Italy” – A Vinous Favourite
16 February 2021
Time and again we find ourselves reaching for Tenuta delle Terre Nere in the quest for bright, translucent reds for everyday drinking. Year-in year out, Marco de Grazia and his team wrestle Etna’s deep volcanic soils, lands laced with powdery minerals, salt and spice; taming the volcano’s inherent power to produce wines of elegance, freshness and grip. The entry-level Etna Rosso DOC is the wine that drinks most seamlessly on release. Produced from the Nerello Mascalese grape, it is prized for its vibrant red fruit tones, windswept floral top notes, jostling tannins and lively acidity, all of which will see a bottle disappear in no time. At just £16.18 per bottle inc. VAT we can’t think of many wines that marry this level of class with such effortless drinkability.
A “Vinous Favourite” in January 2021, we reproduce below the tasting note from Eric Guido, Italian Specialist. Read More
The 2018 Etna Rosso opens with a dazzling mix of crushed wild strawberries and savory herbs, complicated by smoky earth tones. It’s juicy, sapid and long, framed by mineral-tinged fruit, spice and floral notes. One of the most consistent and affordable reds coming out of Italy. – 92 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous.
