Organic/Bio As Wine Advocate said last year, “Giuseppe Russo makes some of the best wines on Etna. Full stop.” This is his more powerful and sleek San Lorenzo bottling, at 330 cases, his biggest single Contrada wine. Old vines (70-100 years) plus high-altitude (up to 750 meters) creates the perfect marriage of concentrated intensity and vivid purity. Wild blackberry and blueberry fruit and a silky, minerally, finish keep you coming back for more. As Wine Advocate said in the 95 point praise:
“One of the best wines from the volcano is this always overachieving blend of 97% Nerello Mascalese and 3% Nerello Cappuccio. The Girolamo Russo 2022 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo draws its fruit from 80-year-old vines at an ideal 780 meters in elevation. The cooling breezes and strong luminosity of these elevations help to contribute to the freshness of the wine and its beautifully intense aromas. There is wild cherry, violet and Sicilian blood orange. The wine's attractive dark ruby shine leads to a long-lasting and very polished mouthfeel.”
For You If: You’re after Burgundy purity and finesse with a bit of mountain wine wildness and Italian intensity.
"Classy and perfumed, this stands out with pretty aromas of spiced plums, nutmeg and white pepper following through to a medium body. It has a polished texture, creamy tannins and a bright, fresh finish."
