Tenuta Delle Terre Nere 2018 Etna Rosso Guardiola

95 Points James Suckling

On the Terra Nere Estates, Guardiola is the highest in elevation, ranging from 800 to almost 1,000 metres altitude. Always the tightest wine, the most difficult and sometimes askew when young, it still remains a favourite. It may be its focused intensity, the tension of a coiled spring, the sense of austere purity it delivers, or the uniquely high-toned, almost stony bouquet. Or probably because all of the above together make for a wine of very powerful character. Of all crus, it is the one requiring more time to release and relax. The sinew releases its tension just a bit, the tannins soften, the wine’s authority remains. Pork, steak, sausages, game, braised meats.

Nerello Mascalese | Nerello Cappuccio

The estate is located on the northern slopes of the Etna volcano, with vineyards between the village of Solicchiata and the town of Randazzo, the area historically recognized as the finest in the appellation for fine red wines.
