PinotLike Wine Grown In The Highest Elevation In Sicily

One of the most interesting aspects of the wine business is discovering hidden treasures. We recently tasted and fell in love with the wines of Tenuta delle Terre Nere and in particular the Etna Rosso 'Guardiola.' We couldn?t believe the unique qualities packed into this Sicilian red that were definitely Burgundian in style with a truffle-like earthiness found in Italian Barolos.

Nestled into the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, the Guardiola vineyard is composed largely of vines so old many are pre-phylloxera. This is not your typical Sicilian jammy red wine - quite the opposite. This wine is full of elegance and restraint. Looking at the wines color, one would not necessarily think that the wine would be as rich, full, and powerful -- but it is without being flabby or over extracted. The wine strikes the perfect balance between fruit and texture. This is the type of wine that makes people learn to love the wine.

The vineyard of 'Guardiola' is one of the highest-altitude vineyards not only in Sicily, but in all of Europe! Extreme temperature swings from day to night along with the altitude, produce a wine of "unbelievable freshness and complexity as well as huge perfumes that suggested Pinot Noir....astonishingly complex and ethereal efforts from the hillsides of Mt. Etna in Sicily.
