Caviar for Your Lifestyle - Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco DOC

Caviar for your Lifestyle from Lady Elena Caviar


Here is a $18 wine and caviar pairing.

2014 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco DOC




When you talk about wines from Etna, we are talking about vineyards grown on the steep slopes of an active volcano.

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is located in the northern slopes of the volcano, with vineyards between the village of Solicchiata and the town of Randazzo at altitudes of 600 to 900 meters above sea level. With the location of being on a volcano it is no surprise that the soils are filled with mineral driven black volcanic pumice, sand, ash and that the soils are covered with the black volcanic pumice.

This 2014 Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Bianco DOC is made from a field blend of the local varieties of 60% Carricante, 25% Catarratto, 10%Grecanico and 5% Minella. The wine was vinified all in stainless steel tanks.

Wine Description

The wine has a straw color with green tints. There are aromas of smoky minerals with a white peach floralness. On the palate, as in the finish, the wine is filled with soft minerality with undertones of the fresh fruit. It also has a clean finish to it.
This pairs nicely with White Sturgeon caviar.
