  December 17, 2023 - Comprehensive Tenuta delle Terre Nere (Chicago, IL): Nose here was somewhat mute, but the palate was definitely quite expressive. Plenty of fruit on the palate, with a good amount of youthful tannin still. Likely upside with more time.

  October 11, 2023 - Red fruited with lots of minerality. Very translucent, we tasted this alongside a range of other Etna Rossos and it cemented Terre Nere as my go to producer for the region. Very good.

  January 27, 2022 - Nose of red fruits layered with spice. Strawberry and dried cherries on the palate with herbs, minerals and faint floral notes. Heavily structured, roughly 4 hours of air softened the wine to the point where it was approachable, but this is clearly built for the long term. Tasty with a decant, but best to check in a decade from vintage.

  June 12, 2020 - Tenuta delle Terre Nere with Marco de Grazia (Zoom!): Pale red, very translucent. Reduced nose. Slightly sweeter finish than the Santo Spirito. Not giving much at the moment - Marco de Grazia says it's like a knife driving into a complex black hole.
