Tenuta delle Terre Nere is located on the northern slope of Volcano Etna. The wines are produced from vineyards that are located in three cru: Guardiola, Calderara and Feudo di Mezzo. The extremely particular soil and climate, together with the high altitude, make these wines similar to those of Burgundy or Barolo. Since the year 2004, the company is self–sufficient and grapes are vinified in the new wineries. The company has been in the process of conversion to organic farming since 2007. It was officially certified on the year 2010.
