2021 Tenuta delle Terre Nere 'Santo Spirito' Etna Rosso Sicily

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "This shows notes of darker berries with red licorice and fresh ripe peaches. Intense with hints of moist clay soil and bark undertones. Full and steady on the palate with a firm backbone of chalky tannins that go on for minutes. Lot of tension and energy. Stays long on the palate, turning to a more smooth and powdery mouthfeel. Needs some time. Try after 2025."


Vinous - "The 2021 Etna Rosso Santo Spirito is dark and dusty in character, yet impossible to resist. It slowly unleashes a core of crushed raspberries, mint leaf and sage. It’s silky and refined, with cooling acidity and pretty strawberry fruits complemented by rosy inner florals. A cascade of licorice and crunchy tart cranberry defines the finale, as the 2021 tapers off youthfully tense, nearly puckering the cheeks, yet only lightly structured. Patience is recommended, yet it will be hard to maintain."
