Description

Tenuta delle Terre Nere’s rosato is always one of the smartest buys from Etna each year – pure, energetic Nerello Mascalese drawn from high-altitude vineyards on the mountain’s northern slopes. The volcanic soils and elevation give it that unmistakable mix of delicacy and tension that sets Etna rosé apart from anything else in Italy.

The 2024 vintage was cool and even, with a long ripening window that kept the fruit crisp and perfumed. Everything was hand-harvested, given a short skin soak for colour and texture, then fermented in steel to lock in freshness. No oak, no frills, just bright, clean fruit.

It’s pale, savoury and quietly complex – red currant, blood orange, a little spice and mineral dust from the lava soils. The palate is fine and dry with just enough weight to make it food-friendly without losing that alpine lift. It’s graceful, refreshing and perfectly captures the feel of the mountain.

Lots of sliced ripe peach and lemon character as well as some grapefruit. Full and flavourful with lots of energy and brightness, this has plenty of fruit and length. It's a richer rosé than past vintages but so structured and attractive.

100% Nerello Mascalese sourced from estate vineyards in Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia. Marc seeks to make a wine that has the body of a white and the soul of a red. We think he has achieved this. The grapes are picked a little earlier with limited time on skins, the colour is pale and Nerello sapidity shines through in terms of character.
