2025 Terre Nere - Etna Rosato (750ml)

Marco de Grazia’s Tenuta delle Terre Nere is one of the estates that made Etna famous, and its rosato has been a cult favorite since he first made it in 2008. The fruit comes from certified organic vines, 25 to 60 years old, on the volcanic north slope of Etna at 600 to 900 meters. It’s 90% Nerello Mascalese and 10% Nerello Cappuccio. The grapes spend just three to four hours on their skins, then are pressed directly to stainless steel for fermentation and aging. That keeps it pale, dry and pure. De Grazia’s goal is “the body of a white and the soul of a red.” The 2025 shows strawberry, ripe peach, blood orange and wild herbs, with smoky volcanic minerality, brisk acidity and a salty finish. Great with grilled fish, seafood pasta, salumi or paella.
