Girolamo Russo ‘Calderara Sottana’ Etna Rosso 2020
Red Blend | Sicily, Etna
There is beauty here. Richness and solid red mid-palate. Savoury, bloody, there is precision, and more clarity particularly on the finishes. Saline. A hint of musk. Another year or two in bottle should see this in a special place. Blood orange and a little sourness that will pull into line with that year or 2. Hints of pine forest and earthiness. This feels very complete.
This wine is part of the growing collection of excellent single-vineyard contrada sites farmed by the talented Giusepp

Girolamo Russo ‘a Rina Etna Rosso 2021
Red Blend | Sicily, Etna
With fruit sourced from the Contradas of San Lorenzo, Feudo and Calderara Sottana there is some serious pedigree to the vineyards and it shows in the wine! This is the entry-level red from Girolamo Russo. Made with Nerello Mascalese and about 10% Nerello Cappuccio blended from various vineyard sites, the 2021 Etna Rosso 'a Rina offers terrific value with wild berry, blue flower and crushed stone over an elegant mouthfeel. The emphasis is on freshness and balance.

Girolamo Russo ‘Feudo di Mezzo’ Etna Rosso 2020
Red Blend | Sicily, Etna
The Girolamo Russo 2020 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo opens to a hint of salinity or minerality that is specific to this site. Those linear aromas tend to frame a tight core of wild fruit, white cherry, apricot and mountain flowers like blue bonnet or Sicilian ginestra, which grows with yellow blooms on the flanks of the volcano. The wine's interesting saltiness cedes directly to the mouthfeel. The tannins are more prominent in this vintage. You should get very good aging potential from this bottle.

Girolamo Russo Etna Rosato 2022
Nerello-Mascelese | Sicily, Etna
If you didn't see the colour you might well think this was a white. Deeper inspection sees those elements that take into the territory of a refreshing Rosé!
Looking good with a crisp fine acid musk and rose with a little baking spices, shape and flow, strawberries. A little woody herbs, fun wine. Line and length here my friends!
The Girolamo Russo 2022 Etna Rosato reveals a floral bouquet with wildflowers, peach blossom and whiffs of zagara, or Sicilian lemon blossom. It offers subtl

Girolamo Russo ‘San Lorenzo’ Etna Rosso 2021
Red Blend | Sicily, Etna
The Girolamo Russo 2021 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo is a very exciting wine with so much energy and verve. It opens to lean-bodied concentration with a brilliant ruby shine. The wine shows a long array of wild fruit and tiny berry aromas backed by crushed white pepper and crushed stone. San Lorenzo is one of the most impressive interpretations of Etna. I highly recommend you try and cellar this wine.

Girolamo Russo ‘Feudo di Mezzo’ Etna Rosso 2019
Red Blend | Etna, Italy
There’s a little something savoury in the mix, the tannins here whilst more pronounced are not at all in the way. Like the rest Arina and San Lorenzo this is an example of putting the fruit first. A little darker in flavours than the San Lorenzo. Yet not dramatically so.
A large cru in the appellation, at around 650m, but Giuseppe has a very special parcel less than than 1 ha in size, with 100+-year-old bush vines. Dark mature profound fruit, balsamic notes, and velvety tannins as the

Girolamo Russo ‘Calderara Sottana’ Etna Rosso 2019
Red Blend | Etna, Italy
The soil here is easily recognizable as it is by far the rockiest of all the Crus . The ground is covered by small light black volcanic pumice rocks and is some of the oldest and 'purest ' as well as poorest soils on Etna. This is very rare and only appears in two of all the Cru's .. Calderara Sottana and partially San Lorenzo.
"Really enticing nose with rich and ripe berries, tinged with notes of bright spice, truffley mushrooms and fresh flowers. Hint of orangey freshness, too. Medium-bodi

Girolamo Russo ‘San Lorenzo’ Etna Rosso 2019
Red Blend | Etna, Italy
This is delicious, rounder generosity that San Lorenzo offers is there yet again there is a delicacy and harmony. Very together, lovely fine acid and depth of tannin here. Still in the red fruited spectrum there is an excellent presence about this.
12 ha between 700 and 800m altitude, some 100-year old bush-vines, some new plantings which have been self-propagated from the old ones . The soil is a younger layer of volcanic rock approximately 2,500 years old on Giuseppe's area . San Lo

Terre Nere Etna Rosso 2022
Red Blend | Sicily, Etna
A Ripper from Marco! A great introduction to the wines of Mount Etna. Terre Nere's Etna Rosso blends Nerello Mascalese with just a splash of Nerello Cappuccio & is always fun!
Passopisciaro lured me to Mount Etna, Terre Nere doubled down & Girolamo Russo confirmed they were no fluke! From the Rosso & Bianco through to the Contrade wines they are filled with personality.
Terre Nere's Etna Rosso is beautifully poised. The energy here pulsates through the wine. The perfume of vi
