The vines sink their roots into \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e that give the sip a distinctive savoury tension. The viticulture follows the \u003cstrong\u003ealberello\u003c\/strong\u003e system, an ideal technique to ensure limited yields and optimal aromatic ripening. The Terre Nere winery operates in accordance with strict \u003cstrong\u003eorganic practices\u003c\/strong\u003e, safeguarding the balance of the volcano's ecosystem to faithfully transfer the essence of the territory into every glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollowing the October harvest, the bunches undergo a \u003cstrong\u003ebrief cold maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by gentle pressing and static decantation to preserve the integrity of the aromas. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, preceding the \u003cstrong\u003emalolactic fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e, which brings roundness and balance. The wine then matures in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for ten months, with a further resting period of eight months. This careful production process enhances its finesse and complexity, defining an elegant structure and a pleasant freshness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 2002, Tenuta delle Terre Nere cultivates historic bush-trained vineyards on the \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic soils\u003c\/strong\u003e of Etna.
