Etna Rosso Moganazzi Premier Cru
The Tenuta delle Terre Nere 2024 Etna Rosso Moganazzi comes from a north-slope vineyard at approximately 750 meters in Castiglione di Sicilia, managed by the estate since 2009. This is a powerhouse, with a broader, bigger mouthfeel and greater fruit weight, yet it remains elegant and beautifully composed. Dark rose, wild plum and sensual dark fruit shape the bouquet, while the palate shows notable power and a more pronounced tannic side. ** Marco de Grazia explains that roughly 80% of a wine’s character is established during the first two weeks of fermentation and maceration. Particular care is required with Moganazzi to prevent its power and tannins from turning rustic. The estate has learned to manage that extraction better each year. In 2025, the pressed wine, or ""torchiato,"" was kept separate so the team could later decide whether to add a small portion, as much as half or none of it. Despite its size and strength, the 2024 remains remarkably elegant.
