The 2022 Etna Rosso Santo Spirito is intensely fragrant, delivering enticing scents of wild red berries, blue flowers, Mediterranean scrub and dark spices. Elegant and enveloping, the savory palate features crushed raspberry, wild strawberry, vanilla and star anise alongside a vein of salinity. Velvety tannins and fresh acidity provide weightless structure and balance. Drink through 2029. Abv: 14% Kerin O’Keefe July 2024 ©kerinokeefe.com
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. (Drink between 2026-2032)
