Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso Prephylloxera 2017

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is located in the northern slopes of the volcano, with vineyards between the village of Solicchiata and the town of Randazzo, the area historically recognized as the finest in the appellation for fine red wines. The property consists of over 55 hectars, divided into 24 parcels in four crus, with a total vineyard surface of 27 hectars in production and 7 hectars in breeding. In the near future we have a plant program that will allow us to reach up to 38 hectares of vineyards. Except for 7 hectars recently planted, the rest are between 50 and 100 years old. One parcel, having survived phylloxera, has reached the venerable age of 130-140 years old. 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 metres above sea level.
