Tenuta delle Terre Nere

Nerello Mascalese from Etna's volcanic heart, site by site.

Tenuta delle Terre Nere works the volcanic slopes of Etna in Sicily, where Nerello Mascalese thrives in the region's distinctive terroir. The winery's portfolio centers on this native red variety, which expresses itself across distinct vineyard sites. Etna San Lorenzo Rosso and Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino Etna Rosso represent the winery's core offerings, both built from Nerello Mascalese grown on these mineral-rich soils. Moganazzi rounds out the lineup, also from the same grape. Etna's high altitude and volcanic composition yield wines of structure and precision—characteristics evident in how these bottlings have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Falstaff, Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Advocate. The winery's focus remains narrow and place-driven: Nerello Mascalese, Etna, and the specific expression each vineyard site imparts.
