Etna

There was no 2018 Contrada Santo Spirito produced due to rain during harvest, but this 2019 makes up for it. Vinified with indigenous yeasts in conical oak vats, it then matures for 24 months in the estate's beautiful French oak eggs, which naturally circulate the wine and therefore require no battonage. Fragrant notes of cherry, wild strawberry and herbal bitters with touches of damp earth and potpourri lead to an intense and concentrated palate with high acidity and an earthy, stony character. Grippy, chalky tannins underpin its balanced structure, while a flourish of pomegranate, raspberry and dried finish completes the picture.
