Etna Bianco
This white wine is made from a blend of the traditional Italian grape varietals of Carricante, Inzolia, Grecanico, and Catarratto grapes. It has a pale yellow color and comes from Sicily (Italy). The nose is floral and reminiscent of linden blossoms. On the palate, it is fresh and salty with good minerality. Etna Bianco from Tenuta delle Terre Nerre pairs beautifully with light pasta dishes, fish, and white meat.

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.
