Organic/Bio Former concert pianist Girolamo Russo started this winery on the slopes of Mt. Etna in 2005. He farms his scattered plots of Nerello Mascalese organically, including his 8 hectare holding in one of Etna's most famous vineyards, San Lorenzo. Both the site and old vines (his were planted in 1940) give this an extra touch of concentration and structure but with no loss of Norello's classic cherry/strawberry fruit and terrific purity. Very little of this bottling makes it out of Italy, so it's worth grabbing while you can. Seriously good already.
"Maybe the most classic interpretation of an Etna wine you will find, the Girolamo Russo 2020 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo sets the bar very high for all neighboring producers on the volcano. The wine is extremely elegant and nuanced with a filigree of wild berry, white cherry, mountain flower and campfire ash woven within its tight, silky texture. San Lorenzo is actually quite solid in terms of mouthfeel, despite the very light texture of its fruit weight." Wine Advocate 96 points
"Pretty nose of dried roses, red cherries, wild strawberries, licorice and lemon peel. It's medium-bodied with such vibrant red fruit, accompanied by fine, powdery tannins. Delicious finish. Long and persistent. Drink or hold."
