Pioneers and Holders of Top Vineyards: Terre Nere was instrumental in bringing international attention to the unique terroir of Mount Etna. They were one of the first to bottle single-parcel wines from indigenous grapes, showcasing the region's potential for world-class wines. Moreover, since they were one of the first in the region, they invested in the greatest vineyards of Mount Etna early in the 2000s, and today have vineyards in ten premier cru and grand cru sites.

Ancient Vines and Tradition: The estate boasts vines that are between 50 to 100 years old, with some prephylloxera vines dating back over 130 years. This commitment to preserving old rootstocks and using traditional methods inspired by Burgundy ensures the production of wines with great elegance and longevity.

Highest Vineyards in Europe on Volcanic Terroir: Terre Nere's vineyards are among the highest-altitude red-grape vineyards in Europe. This elevation, combined with the cool nights and warm summers, creates a perfect balance in the wines. In addition to perfect climate, the unique terroir, shaped by 500,000 years of volcanic eruptions, contributes to the distinct flavor profiles of the wines.
