Terre Nere San Lorenzo 2021
Description
Tout comme en France, où l'on classe les meilleurs vignobles, les très célèbres grands crus ou premiers crus, il existe en Sicile, au nord de l'Etna, les « contrata ». Dans ce cas, il s'agit de celui de San Lorenzo de Tenuta delle Terre Nere, l'un des grands domaines viticoles italiens, où l'on élabore ce vin rouge à partir du cépage autochtone Nerello mascalese. Il se distingue par son profil de fruits mûrs et d'épices.

L'avis des experts
Cool San Lorenzo is at the northwestern edge of the Etna DOC at around 800 metres, situated on some of the oldest surface soils on Etna – from the Elliptical volcano activity of 15,000 to 60,000 years ago – rich in ash and black pumice. Due to its uniqueness, Terre Nere have dubbed their San Lorenzo bottling (from 70- to 100-year-old vines) as ‘Grande Terroir Ellittico’ and consider it one of their grand crus. Fresh, floral and fragrant, it offers wafts of violet and lavender, cocoa, earth and black cherry. In the mouth its fine web of tannins and razor-sharp acidity provide tension for the ripe, balsamic hedgerow fruits to bounce off. Succulent and sapid with a very stony mid-palate, it displays excellent balance and depth, with incredible freshness and staying power.
This shows a very attractive, savory character with red cherries and raspberries, accompanied with dried summer herbs, candied orange and red spices. Dry earth, too. Medium- to full-bodied. Very even and seamless tannin structure. Refined and polished with a dusty earthiness that leads to a dry, delicate finish. Drink or hold.
Esta bodega intenta expresar con la mayor pureza posible el entramado de viñedos que se encuentra en la antigua tierra volcánica del Etna.
