Terre Nere Etna Rosso Guardiola 2021 Bottle size: 750ml
Italy, Sicily
R730
‘This has a dusty nose showcasing notes of vivid red cherries, candied orange peel and pomegranate skins with crushed terra-cotta brick and dried flowers. Textured and polished with dusty tannins that are evenly distributed across the palate and provide a mineral, granite-like presence on the palate, with attractive red fruit underneath. Tense and persistent.’ – James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com, 95/100
‘Depths of black cherry, clove, sage, rosemary and ashen stone make resisting the 2021 Etna Rosso Guardiola impossible. This is an especially lifted and mineral effort, with crisp raspberry and cranberry fruits that take on a crunchy sensation as they travel across the palate. Vibrant acidity maintains a lovely balance, cutting through the 2021’s silken textures like a hot knife through butter. This tapers off long, sinewy and structured, and yet the mouth is left watering for more. 2025-2033’ – Eric Guido, 93+/100
‘Fragrant and enticing, this draws you into the glass with its aromas and flavors of macerated raspberry, sassafras, eucalyptus, tarry smoke, red licorice and milled pepper. Firm and tightly meshed, yet still long and expressive, with a fresh, grippy finish. Drink now through 2036.’ – Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 93/100

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.’ |
