From the rocky slopes of Calderara Sottana, the 2022 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso shows lifted red berries, blood orange and wild herbs layered with gentle spice and a subtle touch of oak sweetness. The palate is vivid yet graceful, with crunchy raspberry and cassis, bright acidity and fine, silky tannins that carry a long, mineral-driven finish. This vintage stands out for its combination of ripeness and tension, giving both immediate charm and structure for aging.

Tenuta delle Terre Nere’s Etna Rosso “Calderara Sottana” is a single‑contrada expression of 100% Nerello Mascalese from very old (roughly 50–100+ year‑old) vines on the north slopes of Mount Etna (about 600–700 m), planted in hard, stony volcanic soils of basalt, pumice and ash. It’s known for a vivid, floral‑spicy aromatics (rose, violet, Mediterranean herbs) threaded with ashen/mineral and saline notes, a silky “creamy” mouthfeel but firm, fine tannins and structure from time in French oak, making it both immediate and ageworthy.
