HighScoring Tenuta Delle Terre Nere Sicily Etna Rosso Moganazzi Red Wine

Discover the bold elegance of Tenuta Delle Terre Nere’s 2022 Etna Rosso Moganazzi, a Sicilian red crafted from volcanic soils on Mount Etna’s slopes. This Nerello Mascalese masterpiece earned 94 points from Vinous, praised for its aromatic complexity and structured finesse.

With a nose of dusty lavender and wild herbs, this wine unfolds into flavors of dried black cherry and dark plum, lifted by hints of confectionery spice and mineral-rich chalk dust. A vibrant core of red berry acidity cuts through its velvety texture, while grippy yet polished tannins linger into a perfumed finish marked by subtle tobacco undertones.

The winemakers highlight its “luminous character” and sculptural balance—a wine that marries power with grace. Its dense texture pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like slow-cooked lamb or aged cheeses, yet its bright acidity keeps it lively at the table.

At 14.5% alcohol, this bold yet agile red offers both immediate appeal and aging potential. A standout among Sicily’s volcanic wines, it showcases Nerello Mascalese’s unique ability to blend rustic charm with refined elegance—a must-try for lovers of Italian terroir-driven reds.
