About this wine

Tenuta delle Terre Nere is a pioneering estate on Mount Etna, Sicily, dedicated to expressing the volcanic terroir of this UNESCO-recognized region. The San Spirito is crafted from Carricante, the signature white grape of Etna DOC, which thrives in the mineral-rich soils and cool mountain climate. This wine embodies the estate's philosophy of minimal intervention winemaking, allowing the unique characteristics of Etna's lava-stone vineyards to shine through with pronounced intensity and complexity.

The Carricante grape delivers a distinctive profile marked by floral and spicy notes with hints of vanilla and creamy textures, a reflection of both the volcanic terroir and careful cellar work. San Spirito pairs beautifully with shellfish, lobster, and white fish, while its aromatic character complements chicken dishes, fresh herbs, and elegant pasta preparations with green vegetables. At 13% ABV, it strikes an ideal balance between richness and finesse, making it equally suited to fine dining and sophisticated entertaining aboard yachts or in private villas.
