Tuscan winery Marchesi Frescobaldi lands on Etna, in one of the most vocated lands for wine, and becomes a minority partner of Tenuta delle Terre Nere.
A shared passion for wine and true relationships has always reigned supreme in the sincere friendship between Lamberto Frescobaldi and Marco de Grazia to which they add the desire to create something together, a dream they have nurtured for 35 years. Today that dream has become a real collaboration with Marchesi Frescobaldi becoming a minority partner in Tenuta delle Terre Nere, on Etna. A place with a unique strength, breath and primordial energy. And so Marco De Grazia and Lamberto Frescobaldi decided to carry on together the beautiful Sicilian project that Marco gave birth to in 2002.
“For dozens of years Lamberto and I shared time, friendship, and of course wines upon wines – and the joys and sorrows of our children growing up together in the same school” – these are the words of Marco de Grazia, owner of Tenuta delle Terre Nere, who adds – “The case gave us a boost. Our common visions also. The gears began to turn, first hesitantly, then enthusiastically. And the friendship became something more: a shared passion and drive for higher goals, a desire to give shape to a clear and common intuition, and finally translate it into increasingly ambitious and fine wines. Together.”
“For me, Marco De Grazia represented a true point of reference ” -thus Lamberto Frescobaldi, President of the Marchesi Frescobaldi Group, who continues- “In the early 1990s, shortly after my marriage, we shared many evenings and many bottles of wine uncorked together. In those moments I listened carefully to his every word: his constant search for finesse in wines, his contagious energy, the clarity of his vision.”
The journey continues. Sustained by a long friendship and a mountain that never ceases to inspire.
