Etna Bianco Santo Spirito 2023

Description

Still organic white wine from Etna DOC, 12.5% ABV, produced by Tenuta delle Terre Nere. 100% Carricante. 0.75L bottle, 2023 vintage. A wine born on the volcanic slopes of Etna, in the Santo Spirito district, where the lava soil and altitude give the Carricante a unique minerality. Traditional white wine vinification with brief cold maceration, soft pressing, and alcoholic fermentation in 5 and 10 hl French oak barrels. Aged in barrel for 10 months and then in bottle for 8 months. Complex, with floral and spicy notes that blend into an elegant bouquet. The color is straw yellow with golden reflections. Intense and rich, yet at the same time very fresh and savory, a wine that perfectly expresses the volcanic terroir.

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is located on the northern slope of the Etna volcano. The wines are produced from vineyards in three crus: Guardiola, Calderara and Feudo di Mezzo. The extremely special soil and climate conditions, together with the high altitude, make these wines similar to Burgundy or Barolo. Since the 2004 vintage, the company has been self-sufficient, and the grapes are vinified in the new cellars. The winery has been converting to organic farming since 2007. It has been officially certified since the 2010 vintage. Read more
