Description

It is able to express and exalt all the peculiarities of the terroir from which it comes, enriching also with valuable tertiary tones released by aging. Splendid to the nose and passionate to the palate, it offers a continuous alternation of soft and fresh parts that make the wine able to conquer the first sip and entice the second cup instantly.

Perfume

Perfume

Over-expressive to the mushroom, it lets you feel tropical fruit tails, yellow peach and apple, floral soups of broom and chamomile, as well as mineral and vaguely vanilla shades.

Color

Color

Straw yellow to the eye, with intense golden reflections.

Taste

The sip is all played on the balance between creaminess and softness on the one hand, and freshness and minerality on the other. Long persistence and pleasantly clear the closure.

The Girolamo Russo estate was founded in 2005 by Giuseppe Russo, in memory of his late father. The family are native of Passopisciaro, one of the key villages at the heart of the rebirth of Etna’s most important grape variety, Nerello Mascalese.
This is the north face of Europe’s largest active volcano, Mount Etna, in the north-eastern corner of Sicily.
The Russos have 26 hectares of land in and around Passopisciaro, with 15 hectares of vineyards surrounded by olive and hazelnut groves. The vineyards are high up, between 650 and 780 metres above sea level, inland from the beautiful town of Taormina. Many of the free-standing bush vines are over 80 years old, surviving in harmony with Etna’s black, mineral-rich volcanic soil.
Giuseppe works the vineyards organically and makes the wines himself. He vinifies each parcel separately, seeking out their individual identities in a series of wines that reflect the diverse character of their terroirs.
Some lava flows are very recent, too recent even to plant on.
The area is broken up into sectors known as ‘contradas’. Each contrada has a name and is linked to one of Etna’s townships. Read more
