The complex terroir of Mt Etna is wonderfully encapsulated in the wines of Tenuta delle Terre Nere and the Santo Spirito, produced from the same vineyard as the Calderara Sottana, highlights the subtle but distinctive differences in site. This is far more mineral-driven and has a pronounced bouquet of preserved lemon, stone fruits and briny salinity.

Vinous
The 2018 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche-Santo Spirito is rich and honeyed, showing ripe peach and almond paste, yet gaining freshness through evolving notes of crushed stone and spring flowers. It soothes with soft, silky textures, building momentum as saline-minerals add grip to its ripe orchard fruits. A hint of vanilla bean and sweet spice lasts throughout the long, dramatic finale. The 2018 is pleasurable from start to finish, alluringly sweet and rich yet balanced. I can assure you that comparisons to white Burgundy certainly fit the bill here.Eric Guido1st June 2021
