Organic/Bio Marc de Grazia has designed San Lorenzo one of his three "Grande Terroir Ellittico" wines, so designated because of their very rare and pure volcanic sand soils from the Ellittico eruptions dating from 15,000 to 60,000 years ago. And it's certainly a very grand site indeed, with 70+ year-old vines growing at about 750 meters altitude. There's always something a little Pinot Noir-like, or Burgundian, to San Lorenzo although with firm structure and plenty of grip. Already tempting with air, best from next year – 2035.
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
"Only four vintners farm in San Lorenzo, including Giuseppe Russo of Girolamo Russo and Marc De Grazia of Tenuta delle Terre Nere. The 2020 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo shows lots of bright, lifted fruit with cherry and redcurrant at the top. The fruit is discreet, however, and is nicely wrapped into the wine's elegantly rich texture. San Lorenzo is special because this site, at 700 to 800 meters in elevation, is usually cooler. It has rich soils with rocks and sand. The violent 1981 eruption grazed the perimeter of this location. You get a wine of volume and depth as a result."
James Suckling: 96 Points
"Complex nose of oyster shell, bay leaves, dark cherries, currants, sweet cherries and hazelnuts. Delicious roundness and sweetness to the fruit, with firm, very fine and powdery tannins. Medium-to full-bodied. Hints of cocoa and charcoal at the end. Long and persistent. From organically grown grapes. Try this from 2024."
