FREE Wine Tasting w/ Jason MacPhee: Terre Nere

Jul 12, 2025 1:00pm - 3:00pm

Join Wine Category Manager Jason MacPhee for a FREE wine tasting, re-introducing a fan favourite: Terre Nere. 

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is an estate located on the northern slopes of Etna, within the hilly belt that extends between Solicchiata and Randazzo, historically the area recognized as the finest in the appellation for fine red wines. Marco De Grazia owns this iconic Etna estate and released its first commercial vintage in 2002 making them a pioneer in the region.  The estate consists of approximately 45 hectares divided into 29 plots and in nine “contradas” (sub-zones/crus).  The soils differ very much from cru to cru, and even within the crus themselves. The same is true of the altitudes and age of the vines; the vineyards are mainly between 600 and 1000 metres above sea level and the vines between 50 and 100 years old. 

He is fortunate to own a small plot, less than one hectare of vines, that is over 140 years old! These ancient vines survived phylloxera, and are therefore ungrafted.
