Description

"Terre Nere’s wines all possessed unbelievable freshness and complexity as well as huge perfumes that suggested Pinot Noir…These wines are astonishingly complex and ethereal efforts from the hillsides of Mt. Etna in Sicily."
- Robert Parker

The 2022 San Lorenzo is Marco de Grazia’s ode to old vines and cool slopes, crafted from one of Etna’s most revered Contrade.

Here, the vines dig deep into nutrient-poor ash soils, yielding berries that are intensely concentrated and remarkably expressive.

Aged with restraint to let the terroir shine, this is a red with both richness and vitality, dancing between power and finesse.

The nose is fragrant with wildflowers, dark fruits, and an earthy hint of volcanic smoke. On the palate, San Lorenzo reveals blackberry, plum, and a touch of savoury spice, underpinned by soft, mouth-filling tannins.

Perfectly suited to rich Italian fare, this is a wine with both elegance and depth—one that echoes the wild beauty of Etna’s northern slopes.

"On the nose and the palate, wonderful cherry-blossom and rose-petal characters to the dark cherries and sliced blood oranges. Medium- to full-bodied with balance and intensity, this goes on for minutes. The citrus is hypnotizing. Drink or hold."
