The Tenuta delle Terre Nere winery is located in Sicily, on the northern side of Mount Etna. There are currently 27 hectares of land under vines, which in turn is divided into 24 smaller plots. The average age of vines growing on 21 hectares of land is between 50-100 years, and on one piece of land vines grow with an average age of 130-140 years. The average height of the vineyards is between 600 and 1000 m above sea level. The soil varies greatly between different patches of land. Mainly there is a mixture of volcanic ash, sand and stones, the plots with the heaviest soil are covered with black volcanic pumice. Montalto is made from 100% Carricante grapes from a 2 ha plot. The average age of vines is 60-90 years. The berries were picked at the end of September, followed by low temperature fermentation in French oak barrels. This was followed by malolactic fermentation and maturation in French oak barrels for 9 months. The wine has a straw yellow color, the aroma is graceful and has notes of summer flowers. The taste is well balanced with acidity.
