Terre Nere Etna Rosato 2025

Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosato 2025 is a pure expression of Nerello Mascalese from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Its delicate onion-skin pink colour, lively freshness and refined mineral character distinguish it from fuller-bodied rosés, while its single-varietal identity showcases the elegance of one of Sicily’s most important indigenous grapes. Founded in 2002, Tenuta delle Terre Nere has become one of the leading names in Etna wine.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a delicate onion-skin pink hue and an invitingly fruity bouquet, with expressive aromas of cherries and ripe strawberries. On the palate, it is energetic and harmonious, combining bright acidity with a refreshing, finely defined texture. Subtle saline and mineral nuances reflect its high-altitude volcanic origin and add depth to the fruit. Although immediately appealing for its freshness, this Etna Rosato develops unexpected complexity with time in bottle. It is best enjoyed young for its vibrant fruit and lively character, but careful cellaring can reveal additional savoury and mineral nuances.

Production
The Nerello Mascalese vines are cultivated on Etna’s northern slopes, around Randazzo and Castiglione di Sicilia, at elevations between 600 and 900 metres. The high-altitude vineyards encourage slow, even ripening and help preserve aromatic freshness, while the volcanic soils lend the wine a distinctive saline character and elegant finesse. The vineyards are farmed using organic methods, with respect for the natural balance of the local ecosystem. Harvest generally takes place during the first ten days of October, followed by gentle pressing and static cold settling. Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks to preserve the grape’s delicate aromas, after which the wine rests until it reaches the desired structural balance and aromatic precision.

Food & Serving
Serve this Etna Rosato well chilled, at approximately 8–10°C. Its freshness and mineral character make it a natural partner for delicate white fish, seafood, grilled prawns and refined vegetarian dishes, particularly those featuring fresh herbs, seasonal vegetables or soft cheeses. Decanting is not necessary; simply allow the wine a few minutes in the glass to open and reveal its floral, fruity and mineral nuances.
