Santo Spirito Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2012

9.1

Medium ruby with quite narrow terracotta , garnet rim. Cut herbs , raspberry, dried red cherry , dried rose , slightly smoky note and a basalt , stony hint. On the palate quite rounded and ripe with some red focused sweet sous bois , raspberry coulis and dried herbs , anis , dried herbs . Alcohol does stick out a bit with medium quite rounded sweet tannin , with just balanced acidity . Reasonable anis , black tea and dried herb finish . This is at the end of its drinking window but still showing quite well . Drink now , and I would recommend serving at a relatively cool temperature — 5 days ago

You’ve got to be kidding me. A 2007 Salvo Foti wine. A museum piece. Wonderful Etna Rosso minerals, herbs, deep red fruit. Thank you Alex, for finding and gifting it. — a month ago

A pale pink color, the 2022 Etna Rosato is delicate, revealing a nuanced blend of crushed rocks and white strawberries. This is cool-toned and lifted in feel with creamy textures and ripe orchard fruits that swirl throughout. It tapers off with tension and medium length, leaving a tinge of salinity on the close.
