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.
