Le Vigne Niche Calderara Sottana Etna Bianco Tenuta delle Terre Nere 2022

Explore the refined essence of Etna Bianco with “Le Vigne Niche” Calderara Sottana 2022 selection from the prestigious Terre Nere Estate. This wine is an authentic celebration of Carricante, a white grape variety that reveals itself in all its grandeur in the volcanic lands of Etna.

The White Cru: In contrast to the standard Etna Bianco, the “Le Vigne Niche” selection is dedicated exclusively to Carricante. This choice, born from the scientific and passionate vision of Tenuta delle Terre Nere, led to the creation of two white Cru: Calderara Sottana and Santo Spirito.

The Scientific Path: The production of the White’s Cru was a dream realized through separate vinification, understanding the soil and meticulous work on the grapes. Calderara Sottana is a result of this scientific and artistic dedication.

Unique Terroir: Calderara Sottana, the district of origin of this wine, is a unique terroir composed of volcanic ash mixed with basalt. This soil, together with the skill of the winemaker, results in a wine of rare complexity and structure.

Vinification and Aging: Grapes, from old and young vines, are fermented and aged in 10-hectoliter barrels. The rare complexity of this wine blossoms beautifully over time, rewarding the taster’s patience with a beauty of unusual nobility and extraordinary longevity.
