The volcanic soils from Mt Etna play a role in making deep, dark and concentrated red cherry fruit but at the same time bright, and downright refreshing. The purity of fruit is so impressive.  Organic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEtna Rosso San Lorenzo comes from 7 hectares of vineyards in the district of the same name in the municipality of Randazzo. In some parcels, the vines are over 70 years old, the altitude is 750 meters above sea level, and the soil is almost pure volcanic sand. The estimated production of the old vines is around 60 hectoliters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe terroir of the San Lorenzo district was formed by lava flows and volcaniclastic deposits related to the effusive and explosive activity of the Ellittico eruptive center, approximately 60,000 to 15,000 years ago. Although very young in geological terms, the Ellittico soil is the oldest surface layer on which it is possible to plant. The reason is simple: millennia of lava flows have buried the older soils, leaving, in effect, only small and rare portions of Ellittico soil. On the northern slope of Etna, there are five or six Contrade (districts) that have \"Ellittico\" terroir. Three soils, however, are spurious, as the igneous nature of the Ellittico has mixed with alluvial, sedimentary soils resulting from the overflowing of the Alcantara River. On the northern slope of Etna, only three of the hundreds of Contrade have \"pure\" Ellittico terroir: Bocca d'Orzo, Calderara, and San Lorenzo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSan Lorenzo marks the northwest border of the Etna DOC and therefore has the coldest climate of the DCC. This climate, combined with soils rich in ash, creates a unique and unrepeatable combination. Wines that simultaneously embody vigor and generosity in a sumptuous tension. Fine wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinery Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTenuta delle Terre Nere is the fruit of over 30 years of passion and work in the world of fine wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd 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 they try with all their heart to express as purely as possible the refined and multifaceted microcosm of this ancient volcanic land.
