Terre Nere Etna Bianco 2024
CRITICAL ACCLAIM:
"Fresh and floral but with white pepper and a noticeably assertive smoky minerality. Light-bodied, this shines with silky texture and zesty yet integrated acidity. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold." - 94 PTS, JAMES SUCKLING (07/2025)
“The racy 2024 Etna Bianco from Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a beautiful wine that lures you in with its aromas of lychee, Spanish broom, crushed rock and stone fruit. Full of class and energy, the pristine palate features Williams pear, Myer lemon, wild mint and bitter almond alongside bright acidity. A saline tang lingers on the finish. Drink or hold for more complexity. Drink through 2032.” - 94 PTS, KERIN O'KEEFE (01/2026)
"Marco de Grazia's basic Etna Bianco for me underlines the promise of the 2024 vintage on the volcano. Dripping in salinity and with ripe aromas of pineapple, white peach and jasmine, it vibrates with energy. Citrus zest and dried mango join the party on the long, bright finish. Superb – and excellent value!" - 92 PTS, DECANTER (11/2025)
