“Le Vigne Niche Santo Spirito” Bianco Etna DOC 2022 (BIO)

Tenuta delle Terre Nere | Sicily
Az. Agr. Tenuta delle Terre Nere | Contrada Calderara | IT 95036 Randazzo

This Carricante from vines up to 100 years old from a small single vineyard gives no indication of its varietal and terroir origins. Fine fruity aroma, mineral and with a fresh sea breeze. Powerful, well-structured, a fine woody note, balanced and long flavour. SUPERIORE.DE

"Intense straw yellow colour with golden accents. Wonderfully complex nose with ethereal notes, hints of Etna honey, distinct orange blossom, yellow flowers and almonds. In the mouth, a mineral-salty line with great yellow-spicy notes in the final carried by a lively acidity." Weinwisser

"The 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Santo Spirito rises from the glass with a savoury blend of crushed green apples, wet stones and a hint of chamomile. The wine is silky and soothing, with flavours of ripe apricot and nectarine accompanied by sweet herbs and a hint of candied lime, carried by a lively acidity. The finish is long and lightly textured, leaving a mineral note and traces of Asian pear that slowly fade. I usually consider the Santo Spirito to be the more open and accessible Bianco from the Terre Nere portfolio, but in 2022 it holds its power in reserve." Vinous

"Santo Spirito Bianco is floral and light, with a distinct breeze of citrus, seashells and salt. Concentrated and intense, with a juicy, savoury attack, it is packed with citrus peel, white peach and flowers, yet remains light on its feet, stony and vertical. Soft and long." Decanter

"A very nice and typical white top Etna with aromas of dried apples, lemon shrub and lemongrass that develop into a medium to full body, with a nice fruit core and lots of undertones of nougat, lemon curd and ricotta. Multi-layered." James Suckling
