Girolamo Russo Etna Rosso Contrada Calderara Sottana 2019

The Girolamo Russo estate was founded in 2005 by Giuseppe Russo, in memory of his late father, and 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. The Russos have 26 hectares of land, 15 planted to vineyards and the rest to olives and hazelnut groves, on the north face of Mount Etna in the north-eastern corner of Sicily. The wine is made of Nerello Mascalese with about 5% Nerello Cappuccio, grown in the contrada of Calderara Sottana (Randazzo) at about 700 meters above sea level. Produced from organically grown grapes.
