Santo Spirito<\/strong> is my first official single vineyard wine. It derives from the vineyard and province of Santo Spirito \u2013 a vineyard made up of terrasses held up by ancient dry-built stone walls. The vines are trained by the Alberello system, and grow at 600 \u2013 800 m. (1.200 \u2013 2.400 feet) above sea level.<\/p>\n

The wine to me is a prime example of the essence of Etna at its best: the boost of the mineral lava notes, the mix of mature red fruit, flowers and a touch of spice \u2013 a complex and evolving set of flavours that go together to form a very elegant, very balanced wine. Santo Spirito<\/strong> is finesse.<\/p>\n

    A wonderful wine for poultry dishes be it poussin, partridge, pheasant or pigeon. Delicate also with a steak tartar, carpaccio and perhaps even a flavourful red tuna tartar at the wine\u2019s early stages of life. Veal and pork dishes without too heavy sauces are good choices as well<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
