Marco de Grazia's Volcanic Wine Mastery

by Hugh French | Aug 16, 2023

Making his mark by introducing Barolo to global markets as part of the renowned 'Barolo Boys', Marco de Grazia now finds his home at his winery, Tenuta delle Terre Nere, nestled in the foothills of Mount Enta. Here de Grazia harmoniously combines traditional and modern techniques to produce outstanding wines that mirror Etna's unique volcanic terroir. Celebrated for elegance and expression, de Grazia's specialty lies in crafting wines from indigenous grapes such as Nerello Mascalese and Carricante. These wines exemplify minerality, intricate flavours, and a strong sense of place, capturing the captivating volcanic landscape.

"This shows attractive aromas of citrus and stone fruit with hints of seashell, with stony and ashy undertones. Medium-bodied, tangy and fresh with vivid acidity and a polished mineral backbone to it. Steady and focused with a crunchy finish. A blend of carricante, catarratto, grecanico and minnella." 92 Points JamesSuckling.com

"Notes of candied cherries and dried orange peel with hints of flowers and minerals. Clean and focused on the palate with a medium body, steady acidity and tangy, flinty character on the finish." 92 Points JamesSuckling.com

"This shows notes of darker berries with red licorice and fresh ripe peaches. Intense with hints of moist clay soil and bark undertones. Full and steady on the palate with a firm backbone of chalky tannins that go on for minutes. Lot of tension and energy. Stays long on the palate, turning to a more smooth and powdery mouthfeel." 96 Points JamesSuckling.com

"This has a fresh and fragrant nose with beautiful cherries and raspberries as well as rose petals, licorice and crushed stones. It’s firm and linear on the palate with a medium body and vivid acidity. It’s hard to draw a line between the tannins and the earthy, mineral aspect as both build a chalky mouthfeel and lead to a long textural finish. I like the finesse here despite being still quite tight and firm." 96 Points JamesSuckling.com

"This has a dusty nose showcasing notes of vivid red cherries, candied orange peel and pomegranate skins with crushed terra-cotta brick and dried flowers. Textured and polished with dusty tannins that are evenly distributed across the palate and provide a mineral, granite-like presence on the palate, with attractive red fruit underneath." 95 Points JamesSuckling.com

"This is more vibrant with red berries, blood oranges, light spices and hints of terra-cotta. Medium-bodied, juicy and fruit-forward with tangy acidity and dusty tannins. Hints of bitter orange at the end. Long and chalky yet very attractive and enjoyable now." 95 Points JamesSuckling.com
