Calderara Sottana sits on the oldest ground anyone is able to plant in the Etna appellation — lava flows and volcaniclastic deposits laid down by the Ellittico volcano between roughly 60,000 and 15,000 years ago. The vineyard runs from 600 to 700 meters on the north slope above Randazzo and it is startlingly stony: fist-sized black pumice and basalt with very little ash, covering the ground so completely in places that you can't see the soil at all. The vines are 60 to 100 years old, farmed organically, and made the way Marco de Grazia makes all his crus — fermented in tank and barrel, 14 months in French barriques and tonneaux, a month back in steel, bottled unfined and unfiltered. 2024 was Etna's rebound year after downy mildew wrecked the 2023 crop: a drier season with well-timed late-summer rain, healthy fruit and a long, unhurried ripening. The result is the most autumnal and spicy of the crus, austere and aromatic at the same time, full in the mouth and yet oddly weightless.

More about Tenuta delle Terre Nere

Etna's obsession with geological purity finds its greatest expression at Terre Nere. Marc de Grazia didn't stumble onto this corner of Sicily in 2002—he engineered a masterclass in what happens when you let the volcano speak. Nearly 50 hectares of volcanic terroir, farmed with a reverence for old traditions, yielding Nerello Mascalese with an ethereal intensity that towers above most modern Italian reds. This is the wine that changed Etna from curiosity to command.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Braised rabbit with olives, mushroom risotto, roast duck, pasta alla Norma with plenty of ricotta salata, or aged pecorino.

Tasting Profile

Red cherry, dried herbs, orange peel and a savory ashy minerality. Medium-bodied and firmly structured, with fine chalky tannins, high acidity and a long, spiced finish. Decant it now, or wait five years.
