White wine dry
The first vintage of this wine was in 2005. The white grapes are a blend of native varietals: Carricante, Catarratto, Inzolia, Grecanico and Minnella. And from the blending of these grapes, with a prevalence of Carricante, Etna Bianco has soft pressing, low temperature fermentation in steel vats. All from old vines up to 80 years. A perfect, delicious wine with floral, reminiscent of linden blooms and fresh and salty, mineral essence.
Serve at 8 -10 °C with fish, chicken, prosciutto and melon, salami and figs.
Tenuta delle Terre Nere is the result of over forty years of passion and work in the world of fine wines. The estate’s philosophy is simple. Given an extreme climate, in order to obtain the best and most consistent ripening, our attention must focus on vineyard management. The finest workmanship in all aspects of viticulture is the first thing that sets producer apart. A work best described as aimed above all at expressing the character of varieties in their specific terroir. The estate is located on the northern slopes of Etna, within the hilly belt that extends between Solicchiata and Randazzo, historically the area historically recognized as the finest in the appellation for fine red wines. The estate consists of approximately 45 hectares divided into 29 plots and in nine Contradas (crus). The soils differ very much from cru to cru, and even within the crus themselves. The same is true of the altitudes, our vineyards ranging between 600 and 1000 meters above sea level. With the exception of about 7 recently planted hectares, the rest are between 50 and 100 years old. Less than one hectare has reached the venerable age of over 140 years, surviving the phylloxera, and is therefore ungrafted.
