WINE DESCRIPTION

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.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Santo Spirito Rosso is an exceptional wine from the Etna region in Sicily, Italy.On the nose, the Santo Spirito Rosso offers enticing aromas of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle hints of spice and earthiness. These aromas continue to evolve and become more complex with time, revealing additional layers of dried herbs, tobacco, and a touch of minerality. The palate is equally impressive, with a medium to full body and a velvety texture that coats the mouth. The wine displays a perfect balance between fruitiness and acidity, with vibrant flavors of red berries, plums, and a touch of black pepper. The well-integrated tannins provide structure and contribute to a long, lingering finish.
