    While Santo Spirito unfolds its floral elegance at an altitude of 700 to 800 metres, Calderara Sottana is rooted in a completely different world. Only a few kilometres away, yet geologically different, this contrada lies at an altitude of 620 to 670 metres directly next to the winery – and here the extraordinary complexity of the Etna terroir is revealed. Marc de Grazia discovered one of Sicily's rarest treasures in Calderara Sottana: pure elliptical terroir, formed 60,000 years ago by volcanic eruptions. Of the hundreds of contrade on Etna, only three have this pristine geological fingerprint and Calderara is one of them. While the Santo Spirito impresses with its crystalline minerality and maritime freshness, the Calderara Sottana is more opulent, creamy and warmer.

    The 15 to 60-year-old Carricante vines stand on black basalt and pumice stone over solid volcanic rock. Here, where Don peptended the vines with infinite dedication for 70 years, wines of exceptional completeness are produced. He called them creamy and he was right. The 2023 reveals a rich bouquet of crushed hazelnuts, almond cream, yellow flowers and dried apricots. On the palate, it envelops with salty minerals and tart garden fruits, carried by lively acidity and zesty citrus notes. While Santo Spirito embodies the lightness of altitude, Calderara Sottana represents the earthy power of the volcano – two faces of the same extraordinary vision that Marc de Grazia began to realise on Etna over two decades ago. SUPERIORE.DE

    "This graceful white shows precision balance and a sense of finesse. Long and satiny on the palate, with vibrant, fine china–like acidity acting as a springboard for layered flavors of nectarine, yellow plum and persimmon fruit, plus lemon oil, minerally salt and stone notes. Offers hints of mountain herbs and white pepper. Though hard to stop sipping today, this should also be a showstopper with cellaring." Wine Spectator
