Interestingly, when I asked many producers how they adapted their winemaking in a challenging year like 2023, the most common answer was: “We didn’t change anything.” That’s a disappointing reality at many estates, but not here. De Grazia described 2023 as the most difficult vintage he’s experienced on Etna. Spring rains totaling around 400 millimeters triggered a devastating outbreak of downy mildew, cutting yields by up to 70% on the northern slopes. The eastern side was largely spared, which helps explain the strength of Terre Nere’s whites. The wet spring gave way to a hot, drought-stricken summer, leading to thicker skins and uneven ripening, as many vines shut down under hydric stress. Fortunately, light rains in September and ideal conditions through October helped save the harvest. The team responded with intense selection in both vineyard and cellar, followed by shorter macerations and minimal pumpovers. The resulting 2023s in bottle are some of the most exotic, finessed and elegant wines Terre Nere has ever produced. They deliver immense pleasure, but in some cases, such as the San Lorenzo, they reach a new level of depth and texture.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mount Etna","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42339660103814,"sku":"ADV-TerreNere-EtnaRosso","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/0338\/0543\/files\/TerreNereEtnaRosso_0d6bb1ff-8755-49e9-9de6-aaf356e314de.png?v=1787940228","url":"https:\/\/www.winesolutions.com\/products\/tenuta-delle-terre-nere-rosso-etna","provider":"Wine Solutions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
