Girolamo Russo | "San Lorenzo" Etna Rosso

-for local Athens, GA pick-up only-

This striking and nuanced red wine is produced by the esteemed winemaker Giuseppe Russo of Girolamo Russo, located on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy. Giuseppe's dedication to organic farming and traditional winemaking methods results in wines that are deeply expressive of their unique terroir.

"San Lorenzo" Etna Rosso is made primarily from Nerello Mascalese grapes, showcasing a brilliant ruby color and a captivating bouquet of red berries, cherry, and floral notes, with hints of volcanic ash and spice. On the palate, it offers a complex array of flavors, including raspberry, wild strawberry, and a touch of black tea, underpinned by a distinct minerality and refined tannins. The wine's vibrant acidity and elegant structure lead to a long, harmonious finish.

Pairings

Do as the Sicilians do: give this a chill and serve with grilled fish, shell-fish, and all sorts of pastas, cheeses, and salumi. Ditto with pizza, Indian take-out, and anything off the grill. -AO
