2023 Tenuta Delle Terre Nere San Lorenzo Etna Rosso
The Etna Rosso San Lorenzo is from 4 hectares of vineyards in the same named district in the town of Randazzo. Vines here are more than 70 years and the altitude is 750 meters above sea level, while the soil is almost pure volcanic sand. This volcanic sand lends a particular richness and fruity profile, and the very soft tannins make the wine appear velvety and voluptuous on the palate.
Other Reviews....
The 2023 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo is surprisingly rich and spicy in this vintage. Cloves and cinnamon sticks combine with hints of cherry sauce and blood orange. This is elegant in style, with seamlessly silken textures and depths of ripe red berry fruits that saturate the palate in primary concentration. Powerful and potent, the 2023 finishes with extreme length and a staining of liquid lavender that lingers for well over a minute. The 2023 is unlike any San Lorenzo I've yet tasted. This has unbelievable depth. Drink 2027-2036.

The remarkable floral style includes bright, leesy character, deep blood oranges, red cherries and cinnamon. Fleshy palate with full body, crisp and refreshing acidity and velvety tannins with a slightly dusty yet ripe texture. Very well-packed, fine-tuned and long. Drinkable now but best from 2026.
