Description

Tenuta delle Terre Nere own 4ha of vineyards in San Lorenzo, which sits just outside the town in the region of Randazzo, at about 800-900m asl. The site is on the northwestern border of the DOC Etna, and it has the coolest climate of any other Contrada. Vines are upwards of 100 years old in some instances and the soils are shallow and especially rich in ash (almost entirely) and interspersed with volcanic pebbles and are very poor in nutrients. The vines are subsequently very low yielding and so, very high in quality.
