Brilliant, brightening ruby-garnet colour. Spicy notes of wild berries, liquorice, flint and traces of thyme on the nose. Beguiling extract sweetness on the palate, with a juicy and racy freshness and fine, tight tannins. Fine salty components on the final, already very polished and supple with further interesting ageing potential. Around 4,000 bottles were bottled. SUPERIORE.DE

"The Etna Rosso Santo Spirito 2020 is remarkably pretty. It smells of black cherries and dried strawberries, complemented by a hint of cloves and allspice. It is soothingly round, with pretty red berry fruit supported by lively acidity, while rosy, floral notes and liquorice emerge towards the end. The wine finishes with a classic tannin and retains a fantastic freshness. The 2020 has a beautiful balance that will carry it through its long and broad drinking window." Vinous

"This is well spiced almost zesty- with a skein of milled pepper and ground cumin winding through plumped cherry, iron, dried tarragon and lavender notes. Dense and chewy, with a lively, lingering and fragrant finish." Wine Spectator

"Captivating minerals, white pepper, mezcal, orange peel and a wild, sulphurous flavour. Really juicy and broad on the palate with firm, powdery tannins that dissolve in the long, savoury finish." James Suckling

"The nose is full of bright, energetic notes of cherry, strawberry and blood orange, but undertones of sage and pencil shavings add depth and nuance. On the palate, a crackle of pepper reveals the bitterness of the orange notes, while structured tannins and bright acidity support the citrus tartness." Wine Enthusiast

"This Santo Spirito 2020 is dark, ferruginous and flavoursome with a slight tannic influence. It is nevertheless impressively fresh, opening with hints of menthol, lavender and herbs. It is precise and balanced, showing dark cherry fruit at its best while being effortlessly light on its feet." Decanter
