Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a prestigious Sicilian estate located on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, at 600–1,000 meters above sea level, near the town of Randazzo. Founded in 2002 by renowned Italian wine ambassador Marco de Grazia, it quickly became one of the most recognized wineries dedicated to expressing this unique terroir. The volcanic soils, rich in minerals, give the wines their distinctive character, while organic practices and meticulous handwork ensure authenticity and the highest quality.
Tenuta delle Terre Nere wines are celebrated for their elegance, finesse, and minerality, often described as Burgundy-style wines from Sicily.
Red wines – made primarily from ‘Nerello Mascalese’ with a small proportion of ‘Nerello Cappuccio’. They reveal expressive red fruit aromas, subtle notes of spice and herbs, silky tannins, and a mineral-driven, long-lasting finish. Often compared to ‘Pinot Noir’ for their structure and aromatic profile.
White wines – based on ‘Carricante’, stand out for their freshness, citrus and white flower notes, refined minerality, and precise acidity.
One of the estate’s greatest strengths is its “cru” philosophy. Tenuta delle Terre Nere was among the first in Etna to vinify single-vineyard wines. Each cru has a unique character and expression: Calderara Sottana, Feudo di Mezzo, Guardiola, San Lorenzo, Santo Spirito, among others. These sites showcase Etna’s extraordinary soil diversity and allow the creation of highly refined and complex wines.
Tenuta delle Terre Nere wines are matured with a delicate use of oak, enriching structure without overshadowing the terroir’s authenticity. Etna Rosso and Etna Bianco are best enjoyed young, when their fruit and freshness are most vibrant. The estate’s cru red wines, however, possess significant aging potential—over time they become increasingly complex, revealing the full depth and refinement of Etna’s terroir.
