Etna Rosso, Santo Spirito, 2022
Aromatic and open nose of rose red fruits and spice. The palate belies the fragrant, fruity aromatics with some grip and snap lending this wine structure and muscle through the mid palate, cresendoing to a ripe finish of red fruits and peach skin. 700-850m of elevation, vine age ranges from 80-100 years old and the soils are deep, dark volcanic ash. Aged in a combination of barrique and tonneaux and bottled after 14 months.
critic reviews
Opening like a basket of wild berries with dusty florals and sweet lavender, the 2022 Etna Rosso Santo Spirito is a total pleasure on the nose. This is lifted and pure in style, with ripe raspberries and blueberries mingling over a core of brisk acidity. It's long and structured yet still remarkably fresh, leaving a subtle coating of primary concentration and fine tannins to fade slowly. The Santo Spirito continues to be one of the most widely appealing wines in the Terre Nere portfolio, providing lovely depth, concentration and structure in a beautifully balanced package.
