Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo di Tenuta delle Terre Nere is born from Nerello Mascalese grapes with a small contribution of Nerello Cappuccio grown in the territory of Feudi di Mezzo, a hamlet of Castiglione di Sicilia (CT) representing the widest cru of the Etna DOC. The soils here are volcanic with a predominance of ash and a low presence of skeleton. The company vineyard, facing North and composed of 40-80 year old bush-trained vines, extends over 1.5 hectares at an altitude of 650 meters above sea level. The red vinification involved an alcoholic fermentation phase at a temperature of 28°-30°C. Aging took place for 16-18 months in barriques, tonneaux, and French oak barrels, with 20% new, plus 1 month in stainless steel.

The Etna Rosso Faudo di Mezzo from Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a light ruby red in color. On the nose, aromas of small red fruits and hints of balsamic herbs emerge, merging into warm notes of resin and dark spices. The palate is soft and enveloping, supported by silky tannins and a long balsamic and spicy finish. It pairs well with aged cheeses and succulent meat-based dishes featuring red meats or game.
