James Suckling: 95 Points
A very beautiful and typical top white Etna with dried apple, lemon bush, and lemongrass aromas that follow through to a medium to full body, with a pretty core of fruit and lots of nougat, lemon curd and ricotta undertones. Complex.

The 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Santo Spirito lifts from the glass with a savory blend of crushed green apples, wet stones and touches of chamomile. This is silky and soothing, with depths of ripe apricot and nectarine complicated by sweet herbal tones and hints of candied lime, all lifted by a core of brisk acidity. It finishes long and lightly structured, leaving a mineral tinge and Asian pear traces slowly fading. Typically, I find the Santo Spirito to be the more forward and accessible Bianco from the Terre Nere portfolio, but in 2022, it’s holding its power in reserve. Cellaring is recommended.
Decanter: 93 Points
From vines in Castiglione di Sicilia at 700-800m, Santo Spirito Bianco is more floral and lighter compared to the tropical fruit of Calderara Sottana, with a distinct breeziness of citrus, seashell and salt. Concentrated and intense, with a juicy, saline attack, it's packed with citrus peel, white peach and florals, yet remains light on its feet, stony and vertical. Soft and long.
