Crafted from 100% Carricante grown on the steep, pumice‑laden slopes of Calderara Sottana, this 2024 vintage delivers a remarkable interplay of power and elegance. Aromas of lemon zest, white peach and crushed basalt give way to hints of almond and wild herbs. On the palate, the wine is brilliantly lively—with bright acidity, saline minerality and textured mid‑palate richness that carry into a long, stony finish. Generous yet tension‑filled, the wine can be enjoyed now but promises further reward with a decade of careful cellaring.
Tenuta delle Terre Nere is widely acknowledged as a trailblazer on the slopes of Mount Etna, transforming ancient volcanic terroirs into precise, world‑class wines. Located at elevations of 600–650 m on the northern flank of the volcano, the Calderara Sottana vineyards yield fruit of rare concentration and purity. The estate farms organically and emphasizes minimal intervention, yielding wines known for their vibrant freshness, sculpted structure and distinct volcanic minerality.
