Description

Le Vigne di Eli is a heart-warming project born from the passion of Marco de Grazia, the visionary founder of Tenuta delle Terre Nere. Established in 2006 as a tribute to his daughter, Elena—whose charming, hand-drawn artwork adorns each label—this boutique estate is a true gem of the Etna region. Located on the northern slopes of the volcano, the vineyards benefit from high altitudes and unique, nutrient-rich volcanic soils, which impart a distinct character to the wines. This Etna Rosso is the winery’s 'business card,' a masterful expression of the indigenous Nerello Mascalese grape, often blended with a touch of Nerello Cappuccio. It is a wine of profound elegance, balancing freshness and complexity with a structural finesse that rivals the world’s greatest light-bodied reds. Beyond its exceptional quality, the project carries a beautiful purpose: a meaningful portion of the proceeds is donated to the Meyer Pediatric Foundation Hospital in Florence, supporting children in need. When you uncork a bottle of Le Vigne di Eli, you are not just enjoying a world-class wine that perfectly pairs with classic dishes like roasted lamb, mushroom-based pasta, or seasoned cheeses; you are also supporting a legacy of love, philanthropy, and the untamed spirit of Mount Etna. Its vibrant acidity, silky tannins, and lingering mineral finish make it an unforgettable experience for both the novice enthusiast and the seasoned collector.
