Tenuta Delle Terre Nere, Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo, Sicily, 2022
Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a leading estate on Mount Etna, widely credited with defining the modern understanding of Etna’s contrade and their distinct expressions. Feudo di Mezzo is one of the most important and historic vineyards on Etna’s northern slope, planted at high elevation in deep, black volcanic soils. The site tends to produce wines with power and finesse, and Terre Nere’s approach of careful farming, restrained extraction, and minimal intervention allows the character of the contrada to come through with clarity.
The 2022 vintage is expressive and finely structured, offering sour cherry, red currant, and wild strawberry layered with notes of dried herbs, spice, and a distinct volcanic minerality. The palate is poised and energetic, with bright acidity and fine, persistent tannins that give the wine length and definition. Balanced and authoritative, this is a compelling Etna Rosso that captures the depth and elegance of Feudo di Mezzo.
Varietal: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio
Appellation: Etna Rosso, Sicily, Italy
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Structured, mineral-driven, and refined
