Tenuta Delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco Superiore DOC 2020

Tenuta Delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco Superiore DOC 2020 is a wine that represents the excellence of viticulture on the northern slopes of Etna, particularly in the Milo area in the municipality of Catania.

Origins and Characteristics: For centuries, Etna’s northern slopes were renowned for producing high-quality red grapes, while whites were uncommon. However, ancient and recent history has demonstrated the excellent winemaking potential of the eastern and southern areas of Etna, particularly the town of Milo. Here, the unique microclimate favors the production of superior white wines. Tenuta Delle Terre Nere has selected the best Carricante grapes from vineyards located between 600 and 750 meters above sea level, characterized by deep volcanic soils composed mainly of volcanic ash and “ripiddu.” Traditional saplings, grown on steep terraces, help give the wine a unique character.
