Made from 100% nero mascalese grown in a single vineyard at 800m on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, this is a wild wine. Elegant, tart and scented this has great poise and energy. Wild strawberry, floral, and sour-cherry flavours, are lifted by the bright acidity on this light-bodied delicate Sicilian red, which shows complex ferrous minerality on the finish.

Santo Spirito, below Guardiola, offers a striking contrast—gentle terraces against rugged slopes. Despite the beauty, the volcanic ash soil limits yields. Exceptionally fresh, the nose reveals blackcurrant, blueberry, and hints of iron and mint. Lush with greenery, the palate delivers intense flavors of black cherry, sloe, and currant with polished tannins. Complexity arises from birch, thyme, and a balsamic undertone. Wonderfully fruity, it balances vibrant acidity with Etna's mineral essence. A delightful, balsamic touch completes the experience. Santo Spirito epitomizes Etna's unique terroir in a bottle, showcasing both beauty and intensity.
