Cellar/Tasting Notes "Made by the legendary winemaker of Sassicaia, Tignanello and Solaia, this is a robust and luxurious Nero d'Avola. A velvety palate of lush, concentrated dark cherries and spice is balanced with delicate acidity and ripe, sweet tannins on a long sexy finish."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The grapes used for this wine underwent the appassimento process for 21 days, and the wine was aged for 18 months in French oak. The result is an intense, complex wine, with red fruit, spice and tobacco flavors." - Wine Enthusiast
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Terre Nere’s 2010 Etna Bianco Cuvee Vigne Niche wraps around the palate with serious depth, power and richness.

Cellar/Tasting Notes From the 98 point Brunello producer As usual, the Valdicava Rosso di Montalcino is one of the more massive Rossos of the vintage. Black-purple in color, super-ripe and full-bodied, it stands out from the rest. Exceptional purity and depth. This is a very classy red.
