Terre Nere San Lorenzo 2021
Beschrijving
Net zoals in Frankrijk hun beste wijngaarden worden geclassificeerd als de bekende grand cru of premier cru, zijn er in een hoekje van Sicilië, ten noorden van de Etna, de contradas. In dit geval hebben we het over San Lorenzo van Tenuta delle Terre Nere, een van de grote Italiaanse wijnhuizen, waar ze deze rode wijn maken met de inheemse druif Nerello mascalese. Hij valt op door zijn rijpe fruit en kruiden

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.
