Description
 
Tenuta delle Terre Nere is the fruit of over 30 years of passion and work in the world of fine wine. The estate's philosophy is simple. Given an extreme climate, in order to obtain the best and most consistent ripening, our attention must focus on vineyard management. The finest workmanship in all aspects of viticulture is the first thing that sets us apart. And what enables us, bringing home exceptionally fine grapes, not to be invasive in our cellar work. A work best described as aimed above all at expressing the character of our varieties in their specific terroir. The estate is located in the northern slopes of the volcano, with vineyards between the village of Solicchiata and the town of Randazzo, the area historically recognized as the finest in the appellation for fine red wines. The property consists of over 30 hectars, divided into 10 parcels in four crus, with a total vineyard surface of 27 hectars, which we mean to enlarge to 30-32 hectars. Except for 6 hectars recently planted, the rest are between 50 and 100 years old.

Only four vintners farm in San Lorenzo, including Giuseppe Russo of Girolamo Russo and Marc De Grazia of Tenuta delle Terre Nere. The 2020 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo shows lots of bright, lifted fruit with cherry and redcurrant at the top. The fruit is discreet, however, and is nicely wrapped into the wine's elegantly rich texture. San Lorenzo is special because this site, at 700 to 800 meters in elevation, is usually cooler. It has rich soils with rocks and sand. The violent 1981 eruption grazed the perimeter of this location. You get a wine of volume and depth as a result.Wine Advocate 96
