Tenuta delle Terre Nere Etna Rosso Santo Spirito 2024
Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a benchmark estate on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, where Marco de Grazia has spent decades exploring the remarkable diversity of the volcano's historic vineyards. The estate's single-contrada wines reveal how dramatically the character of Nerello Mascalese can change across different volcanic soils and elevations.
Santo Spirito is one of the estate's most beautiful vineyard sites, situated between approximately 700 and 850 metres above sea level. Unlike the rocky, austere soils of neighbouring contrade, Santo Spirito is characterised by deeper, softer volcanic ash soils that encourage a more generous and expressive style of Nerello Mascalese.
The 2024 offers a wonderfully fragrant bouquet of ripe cherries, red berries, rose petals and delicate spice. The palate is supple and beautifully textured, with generous fruit, silky tannins and a persistent mineral undertone.
More immediately seductive than the structured Calderara Sottana, Santo Spirito combines the elegance of Etna with remarkable depth and refinement. A beautifully expressive single-vineyard red from one of Sicily's most celebrated producers.
