Tasting notes

Bright red fruit aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and pomegranate emerge from the glass, accompanied by volcanic minerality and hints of Mediterranean herbs. The palate is elegant and medium-bodied with vibrant acidity characteristic of Etna wines, displaying flavors of sour cherry, blood orange, and subtle spice notes. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without heaviness, leading to a persistently mineral-driven finish with a distinctive smoky, saline quality from the volcanic soils.

About this wine

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a pioneering estate on Mount Etna, Sicily, dedicated to expressing the unique terroir of this volcanic region through the indigenous Nerello Mascalese grape. The Guardiola represents the producer's commitment to showcasing the mineral-driven character and bright acidity that define Etna DOC wines, crafted from vines grown on the mountain's distinctive lava-rich soils.

This red wine displays the hallmark qualities of quality Nerello Mascalese: light intensity with elegant red fruit, herbaceous notes, and a distinctive spicy minerality. The volcanic terroir imparts a refreshing, linear profile that rewards careful cellaring while remaining approachable in its youth. The 14% ABV and restrained style make it versatile at the table.

Pair Guardiola with beef and lamb dishes, mushroom-based preparations, or tomato-driven pasta courses. The wine's mineral backbone and acidity complement both rustic and refined cuisine, making it an excellent choice for fine dining settings and villa entertaining.
