A tiny boutique Estate on the north slope of the Etna volcano, Le Vigne di Eli was established in 2006 by Marco de Grazia, founder of the iconic Tenuta delle Terre Nere.
Over time, just like the wines produced from Tenuta delle Terre Nere vineyards, Le Vigne di Eli wines started showing great character and complexity, freshness and elegance, as well as a beautiful aging potential; therefore, Marco decided to select a few more plots of important quality in order to ensure the annual production of these beautiful wines.
