Contrada Santo Spirito Di Passopisciaro Animardente Etna 2014

94 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Etna Rosso Animardente shows dark consistency and a beautifully saturated garnet color. This is a solid and well-made expression from Etna that offers more plushness and richness than many of its peers. There’s a greater level of concentration here. The warm and sunny conditions of this happy vintage have left their mark. Spice, dried berry, cassis, lavender flower and polished river stone all play supporting roles. The wine is elegant and poised. Contrada Santo Spirito di Passopisciaro is part of a small portfolio of boutique estates owned by wine enthusiast and entrepreneur Antonio Moretti. His other properties include Tenuta Sette Ponti in Tuscany and Feudo Maccari in Sicily. Drink 2017-2025
