Tenuta Delle Terre Nere
​
With a past as an expert wine distributor, Marco De Grazia, in 2002 acquires this extraordinary estate on the slopes of the Etna volcano. They are 39 hectares cultivated in an absolutely organic certified regime. The most extraordinary thing is that among the plants on different levels of altitude ranging between 600 and 1000 meters, there are plants that are even over 100 years old. For all connoisseurs it will be easy to understand the refinement of what all this means, that is very low yields of the highest quality.
