"From 80- to 100-year-old vines at 700 to 850 metres above sea level, Santo Spirito is defined by its large terraces and deep, ashy soils. Vinified in stainless steel then undergoing malo and ageing for 14 months in French oak barriques and tonneaux, with one final month in stainless steel, this is a deeply fragrant wine with spicy, earthy and floral perfume allied to dark berry notes, a fine, chalky texture and lovely verticality. Really fresh †ÿslightly balsamic †ÿand ethereal, it dances across the tongue carrying bundles of finely woven hedgerow fruits, black pepper spice and wood. It's still very young but you can expect this to reveal some succulent fruits with time."
