Terre Nere Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche-Santo Spirito 2018

Ripe and generous from the first pour — peach flesh, almond paste, and a touch of vanilla spice settle into something more serious as crushed stone and spring blossom lift the whole thing into focus. The texture is plush and silky without feeling heavy, and a saline mineral grip keeps the orchard fruit honest through the mid-palate. Sweet-seeming but genuinely balanced, with a long, layered finish that earns the white Burgundy comparisons this wine so often invites. Impressive stuff from the Santo Spirito vineyard.
