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.

“The 2023 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo is surprisingly rich and spicy in this vintage. Cloves and cinnamon sticks combine with hints of cherry sauce and blood orange. This is elegant in style, with seamlessly silken textures and depths of ripe red berry fruits that saturate the palate in primary concentration. Powerful and potent, the 2023 finishes with extreme length and a staining of liquid lavender that lingers for well over a minute. The 2023 is unlike any San Lorenzo I've yet tasted. This has unbelievable depth.” Vinous 97 points

"The remarkable floral style includes bright, leesy character, deep blood oranges, red cherries and cinnamon. Fleshy palate with full body, crisp and refreshing acidity and velvety tannins with a slightly dusty yet ripe texture. Very well-packed, fine-tuned and long. Drinkable now but best from 2026."
