Tenuta Delle Terre Nere, Etna Rosso San Lorenzo, Sicily, 2022

$75.00

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a leading estate on Mount Etna, known for articulating the individuality of Etna’s historic contrade through restrained, site-driven winemaking. San Lorenzo is one of the estate’s highest-elevation vineyards, located on the northeastern slope of Etna where cooler temperatures and ancient lava soils contribute freshness and aromatics. The site is often associated with elegance and Terre Nere’s farming methods and gentle extraction allow that character to shine.

The 2022 vintage is lifted and finely detailed, offering sour cherry, red currant, and wild strawberry layered with floral notes, subtle spice, and a distinct volcanic minerality. The palate is taut and energetic, with bright acidity and fine, persistent tannins that give the wine precision and length. Refined and expressive, this is an Etna Rosso that highlights the linear, high-altitude character of San Lorenzo.

Varietal: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio
Appellation: Etna Rosso, Sicily, Italy
Farming: Sustainably farmed
Style: Red. Elegant, mineral-driven, and finely structured
