This is powerful from the get-go, brimming with dried herbs, cherry liqueur, plum paste, dried tamarind, Christmas cake and Indian curry. Full-bodied and iron-fisted, this steamrolls with decadent tannins through layer upon layer of compressed ripe fruit. Very long on the finish. Not for the faint of heart! Drink from 2023.

Marco de Grazia and the formidable winemaking team at Tenuta delle Terre Nere have just completed the construction of a 270-square-meter barrel room. This new space will allow for more accuracy and temperature control during the aging process of their wines. The estate also planted new vines of Nerello Mascalese and Carricante in the Contrade Calderara and San Lorenzo.
