Russo, Girolamo 2024 Nerina Etna Bianco
This bottling is an hommage to Beppe Russo's mother, Nerina. The aromatics lean towards honeysuckle, apricot, and lemon zest while the texture of the wine is lean with great tension, length, and acidity. Just beautiful! 70% Carricante from the Feudo...

Russo, Girolamo 2024 San Lorenzo Etna Bianco
At 750 meters of elevation, the San Lorenzo contrada makes wines of silky elegance and balance. This white is widely aromatic with a chiesled, salty, flinty profile. A bit more of a grassy, almost celery salt note compared to the...

Russo, Girolamo 2024 Feudo Etna Bianco
The ancient Greeks farmed the zone we know now as the Feudo contrada due to the unique microclimate with cooling winds. This lovely wine shows a more serious, mineral driven profile- stones, almonds, acid, texture and a subtle note of...

Russo, Girolamo 2024 'A Rina Etna Rosso
'A Rina means sand in local dialect, a nod to the sandy volcanic soils from which this wine is made. It is a multi-contrada wine from San Lorenzo, Feudo, and Calderara Sottana. Beppe is quick to point out this wine...

Russo, Girolamo 2022 Calderara Sottana Etna Rosso
The grapes for this wine were sourced from the highest part of the Calderara Sottana contrada. Average vine age is 70 years old, and soils here contain more sand. I found this to be the lightest, most delicate red with...

Russo, Girolamo 2022 San Lorenzo Etna Rosso
The San Lorenza contrada has "balanced soils of both sand and stone" in the words of Beppe Russo. I find this to be slightly bolder than Calerara Sottana, yet lighter than Feudo. Sarsparilla, fennel, spice and sweeter, smoother tannins. Almost...

Russo, Girolamo 2022 Feudo Etna Rosso
Beppe tells me the soils here are more orange due to oxidation. This Feudo bottling is the most plump, rustic, and dark fruited out of the lineup of reds today. Almost entirely old vine Nerello Mascalese with very small amounts...

Russo, Girolamo 2021 San Lorenzo Piano delle Colombe Etna Rosso
This tiny parcel is a special old vine, one hectare portion of San Lorenzo at 750 m above sea level. Giuseppe’s father Girolamo gave the vineyard its name, “The Plain of the Doves”, because these birds used to peck at...
