‘Honeyed florals, candied ginger, hints of fennel and crushed green apples form a spicy and inviting bouquet as the 2023 Etna Bianco opens in the glass. This plays depths of ripe orchard fruit against a core of salty minerals and savory spices as a wave of stimulating acidity completely resets the palate. The 2023 tapers off perfumed and long, leaving a pleasantly sour tinge of citrus that puckers the cheeks. 2024-2028’ – Eric Guido, Vinous, 92/100
‘Spanish broom, Mediterranean scrub, citrus and stone fruit aromas mingle together on the lovely 2023 Etna Bianco from Tenuta delle Terre Nere. A blend of mostly Carricante joined by Catarratto, Grecanico and Minnella, the tangy, mineral driven palate shows its Etnean roots with salty salinity and bright acidity that lend tension to ripe apple, Myer lemon and pear. Drink through 2027’ – Kerin O’Keefe, kerinokeefe.com, 92/100

| Producer information | Marc de Grazia is the owner and founder of Tenuta Delle Terre Nere and considered by many to be the pioneer in putting the region of Etna on the map. He was the driving force behind convincing the Italian wine industry the value of demarcating Contrada within their wine producing areas. Marc is a big fan of this classification system and has integrated the model into his own lineup. It is this kind of thinking and investigating that has made Marc and Terre Nere so successful. According to Robert Parker, ‘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.’ |
