Other Reviews....
The 2016 Etna Rosso Santo Spirito (98% Nerello Mascalese and 2% Nerello Cappuccio) shows a slightly more open and accessible style with purple fruit, wild berry, spice and grilled herb. You feel the warmth of the vintage and the even ripeness of the fruit. Yet, make no mistake, the wine is profoundly Burgundian in character, with delicate traces of dark mineral and ash woven throughout the wine's fine texture. The wine is graceful and almost fragile in disposition. Some 7,000 bottles were made.

Aromas of raspberries, lemons and fresh flowers follow through to a full-bodied yet very tight and linear palate with focus and intensity. Very long and beautiful. My favorite contrada this year. Drink in 2020.

A graceful red, this is defined by fine-grained tannins and a current of spicy mineral that ripples under the crushed raspberry, dried mint, rose, citrus and graphite flavors. Fresh and lively. Drink now through 2028. 400 cases made.
