Totally unknown, this must be a transplanted vine that came with the Greeks colonizing Sicilly in the antiquity. Some thought this to be a Rhone Valley or "below", Tenuta -Terre Nerre- a grape growing happily in the volcanic ash of Etna. The nose is mineral, the color is like a dark pinot noir. It opened up giving dark espresso chocolate and oatmeal flavors. A2+ or a 2--depending whom you ask. Interesting, but weird wine. This was Grasshoper's favorite.
