Etna Rosso Santo Spirito Premier Cru
'The Tenuta delle Terre Nere 2024 Etna Rosso Santo Spirito shows the richness and sensuality that Marco de Grazia associates with this site. “Dressed to kill,” he calls it—the Ava Gardner of the wines—with generous curves, softness and a perception of sweetness from the fruit. The wine is structured in the mouth, and its youthful, chalky tannins will need time to integrate.Santo Spirito lies adjacent to Guardiola, yet the two sites are remarkably different. Its vineyards cross three bands of soil and elevation, with the middle section at approximately 750 meters divided by a stream. The lower plateau contains more organic material and produces broader, more rustic wines, while the higher, talcum-powder ash soils bring altitude-driven freshness. This wine blends fruit from the upper and lower sectors to balance freshness with structure; the estate’s white vines occupy the highest part. Maturation lasts 16 to 18 months in French oak tonneaux and 20- to 30-hectoliter casks, with approximately 80% to 85% older wood and 15% to 20% new oak.'
