Etna Bianco 2023, Tenuta delle Terre Nere
A monumental white for precision and territorial expression. The olfactory profile alternates noble citrus with notes of volcanic dust of extreme refinement. On the palate, it is lively, savory, and characterized by a masterful balance between acidic drive and aromatic finesse. A stylistic demonstration that confirms Marco de Grazia as an outstanding interpreter of the volcano.
Etna Bianco 2023, Tenuta delle Terre Nere
The Etna Bianco 2023 from Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a liquid snapshot of the 'Burgundy of the Mediterranean.' Made primarily from Carricante grapes grown at high altitudes (between 600 and 900 meters), this wine expresses an uncommon verticality and finesse. The 2023 vintage presents a clear and rarefied aromatic profile: notes of citron peel, green apple, and orange blossom merge with deeper scents of flint, moss, and a saline trace reminiscent of the sea breeze. On the palate, it is sumptuous yet agile; the entry is straightforward, dominated by a mineral substance that extends to a savory, dry finish with an aromatic persistence that leans toward herbal notes and fresh almond.
