The winery was a project and endeavour of Marco De Grazia. Marco had always remained involved in the world of wines since his early years. Many people consider him to be the person who put the region of Etna on the winemakers’ map, attracting worldwide fame and recognition. Additionally, he served as the driving force that convinced the Italian wine industry of the significance of establishing Contrada in their producing areas. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes undergo maceration throughout the entire fermentation process at a controlled temperature of 25–28°C, ensuring optimal extraction of colour and structure. Following this, the wine completes a spontaneous malolactic fermentation and is aged for 16 months in large French oak barrels to refine its character. A final month in stainless steel tanks allows the wine to settle and harmonize before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.custom-html-container,\n.custom-html-container * {\n  background-color: transparent !important;\n  box-shadow: none !important;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Remove any inherited top margin *\/\n  \n}\n\n.custom-html-container {\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Ensure container has no top space *\/\n  padding-top: 0 !important;\n}\n\n.custom-html-container .global-button {\n  background-color: #35174D !important;\n  color: #ffffff !important;\n  border: 2px solid #35174D !important;\n  display: inline-flex;\n  padding: 25px 40px;\n  font-family: Futura, sans-serif;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n  line-height: 110%;\n  text-decoration: none;\n  cursor: pointer;\n  transition: background-color 0.3s ease, color 0.3s ease;\n  margin-top: 0 !important; \/* Explicitly remove top margin *\/\n}\n  \n.custom-html-container .global-button:hover {\n  background-color: #ffffff !important;\n  color: #35174D !important;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: center;\" class=\"custom-html-container\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"global-button\" href=\"collections\/sicilia\"\u003eBrowse our Sicily Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tenuta Delle Terre Nere","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56770063860056,"sku":"600137","price":38.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/6859\/9683\/files\/tenuta-delle-terre-nere-etna-rosso-2024-whelehans-wines-dublin-cellar.jpg?v=1771854837"},{"product_id":"pietradolce-etna-rosso-2024","title":"Pietradolce, Etna Rosso, 2024","description":"\u003ch2\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJuicy \u0026amp; Vibrant Volcanic wine!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"teaser-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ewa-rteLine\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cem\u003eRestrained and complex Etna rosso with licorice, black pepper and smoky tones over red cherries and plums.
