The Wine
A lighter Rosato with that is 'onion-skin pink'. Intense and exhuberant aromas of red fruits and cherries leap from the glass even before swirling. The palate is fresh and follows the theme hinted at by the aromatic preamble, with fruity intensity balanced by perfect acidity.
A blend of two of the classic red grapes of Mt Etna - Nerello mascalese and Nerello cappuccio (80/20). The grapes are from the Statella's organic vineyard grown in the ancient volcanic soils on the North side of Mt Etna.
This wine shows its best stuff at about 50 degrees, not too cold, so if it's stored in the refrigerator pull it out 15-30ish minutes before serving, depending on how warm your room is.
Pairs well with whatever you're eating. Seriously, this wine is so food-friendly, it's easier to say what it DOESN'T work with - I'd hesitate to pair it with deep, bold-flavored foods that beg for big reds. It's also been known to work as a solo player, where it provides sufficient temptation that eventually, somehow, inexplicably, the bottle is suddenly empty.
Drinking window is now through 2027. 13.5% ABV
The Winery
Calogero and his wife, Rita, were both born and raised in the shadow of Mt. Etna, growing up in the land of lava ash and black soils. Calogera Statella has crafted the wines for Tenuta delle Terre Nere since 2003, helping to establish their fame as one of Etna's premier producers but their dream has always been to purchase their own family vineyard and produce wine under their own label. They purchased the vineyard in 2015 and the dream became a reality - and it's a true family affair - the Statella's manage every stage of bringing this wine to life. This wine was raised at the Tenuta delle Terre Nere facility, an arrangement that will likely continue until and if the Statella's open their own facility.
