Winery
Tenuta delle Terre Nere is the fruit of over 30 years of passion and work in the world of fine wine. And an extraordinary location, as well - this "island within an island" that is the Etna. A place where nature is prodigal but also severe. And here De Grazia tries with all his heart to express as purely as possible the refined and multifaceted microcosm of this ancient volcanic land. With respect, care and hard farm work, always in organic balance.
The estate's philosophy is simple. Given an extreme climate, in order to obtain the best and most consistent ripening, our attention must focus on vineyard management. The finest workmanship in all aspects of viticulture is the first thing that sets us apart. And what enables us, bringing home exceptionally fine grapes, not to be invasive in our cellar work. A work best described as aimed above all at expressing the character of our varieties in their specific terroir.
This rich red wine is made from Nerello Mascalese and sometimes a hint of Nerello Cappuccio and is produced in the vineyard of the same name on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily (Italy), at an altitude of approximately 700 meters above sea level, from vines that can reach up to 70 years old. San Lorenzo is a powerful wine with a dense ruby-red color. After about 14 months of aging in wood, and one month in stainless steel, it reveals on the nose all kinds of blackberries, blueberries, mulberries, and black currants, along with oriental spices, oak, smoke, red-orange zest, and cocoa beans. On the palate, it impresses with its elegance and complexity. Marco de Grazia's San Lorenzo wine is full-bodied, with silky and well-balanced tannins, and is an ideal pairing for red meat dishes and game. Available for deliveries within Metro Manila.
