Description
Marco originally bought a plot in Contrada Moganazzi which he vinified entirely for his charity wine project. In later years he was lucky enough to buy another vineyard in Moganazzi which allowed for him to produce Moganazzi under the Tenuta delle Terre Nere label from vintage 2017. Moganazzi, along with Guardiola have always been considered the best contrada of Castiglione di Sicilia. Aesthetically beautiful these vineyards sit at 700m asl with steep terraces covered with vines that average 80 years of age. The soil is volcanic and medium depth with a topsoil of ash and layers of volcanic stones. The holding is small at 1.5ha and the wine has similarities to the Santo Spirito but with an autumnal influence. Tannins are more compact than Santo Spirito and the finish is long and spicy.
“Smoky, almost singed, showing ripe red-cherry jelly, slightly peppery and spicy. Medium-bodied with a firmness well-balanced by fruit and moderate acidity.” 94 Points - James Suckling
