"This wine is pinot-like due to earthy strawberry aromas, a leesy character, sweet violets and a lot of cinnamon. The smooth attack is enhanced by refreshing acidity with medium body, highlighting the floral flavors. Tight, chalky finish. Drink or hold."

"The 2023 Etna Rosso Santo Spirito is moody in the glass. Dusty rose aromas combine with notes of pine and wild berries, all complicated by a hint of cocoa. Soothingly round and pliant, it splashes across the palate with an array of ripe red and blue fruits guided by vibrant acidity. A saturation of fine tannins emerges through the finish as this tapers off with amazing length and potency, leaving an air of lavender pastille to linger on. The 2023 is a gorgeous interpretation of Santo Spirito."

"A lovely, silky red, with flavors of ripe cherry, exotic spices and incense, red licorice, and rooibos tea gliding across the palate. Fresh and fragrant, this is long and harmonious, with sandy tannins emerging to firm the finish. Drink now through 2040."A.N."

"This nerello mascalese comes from vines rooted in deep, ashy soils at elevations of up to 2,780 feet on Etna™s northern slope. The wine™s high-toned floral scents lead into translucent cherry flavors tinged with delicate smoky notes. Cool salinity weaves through the succulent fruit tones, propelling the wine to a bright and vertical finish."
