Tenuta delle Terre Nere 2008 Guardiola (Etna)

Country: Italy / Guardiola
Variety: Red Blend Sicily & Sardinia
Winery: Tenuta delle Terre Nere / Etna

From what may well be the most beautiful vineyard in Italy comes this gorgeous expression of elegance and power. Guardiola is a tiny plot on the slopes of Mount Etna with blackened soils, majestic fruit trees and religious shrines peppered between a jungle of gnarled grapevines. The wine delivers a steady stream of wild berry and mineral nuances, all backed by a firm, drying mouthfeel.
