This elegant sparkling wine opens with aromas of strawberry

It smells like dried rose petals and a bowl of tart red cherries drizzled in lemon juice

Lively and nervous on the palate the wine is juicy

with weak black tea and dark chocolate to keep it company

Violet and iris aromatics curling out of the glass

Contrada Santo Spirito di Passopisciaro Animardente Etna, Sicily, Italy 2022 Tenuta di Nozzole This elegant sparkling wine opensBeautiful plum and lemon peel aromas here with a crushed stone undertone. Medium bodied, racy and refined, this has firm tannins and a vivid finish. Lovely subtle energy. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable but better in two or three years.
