TASTING NOTES

Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco 2024 is a masterful expression of Sicily’s volcanic terroir, crafted from a harmonious blend of native grape varieties: 60% Carricante, 25% Catarratto, 10% Grecanico, and 5% Minnella. Grown on the northern slopes of Mount Etna at elevations between 600 and 900 meters, these grapes benefit from the unique mineral-rich volcanic soils and cool mountain climate, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth and complexity.

Harvested in early October, the grapes undergo a gentle pressing followed by a low-temperature fermentation in stainless steel tanks, preserving the wine’s vibrant freshness and delicate aromatics. The result is a lacy, floating white wine that captivates with its bright and refreshing character.

On the palate, this Etna Bianco reveals enticing notes of ripe Asian pear, zesty lime, and juicy peach, layered with subtle hints of acacia flowers and a touch of spice. The wine’s pronounced saline minerality and mouthwatering acidity create a quenching finish that lingers gracefully.

Celebrated for its authenticity and elegance, this vintage earned an impressive 94 points from James Suckling, underscoring its status as one of Sicily’s premier white wines. The 2024 harvest reflects the region’s ideal growing conditions, marked by balanced temperatures and optimal ripening, enhancing the wine’s purity and expression.

Perfectly suited for pairing with seafood, light pasta dishes, and fresh salads, Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco 2024 offers a refined and adventurous tasting experience that highlights the distinctive character of Mount Etna’s volcanic vineyards. Discover a wine that embodies both tradition and innovation, crafted for those who appreciate complexity and finesse in every sip.

Scores

94/100

Fresh and floral but with white pepper and a noticeably assertive smoky minerality. Light-bodied, this shines with silky texture and zesty yet integrated acidity. From organically grown grapes.
