Descrizione

Elegant and luminous, this rosé carries the freshness of Etna's vineyards without overpowering: it has a pale color, aromatic profiles that range between light red fruits and floral hints, with a citrus streak that keeps the sip lively. The subtle minerality, typical of volcanic soils, provides tension rather than weight; the whole is lean and well-defined rather than opulent, with a balance that invites drinking without force.

On the palate it shows a fine texture, with lively acidity and a savory, saline note that leads to a clean, pleasant finish; any tannins are subdued and contribute to the structure without weighing it down. Serve chilled — ideal for delicate fish dishes, seafood appetizers, composed salads and summer dishes; it works equally well as an aperitif wine for those seeking a lively but restrained rosé.

Winery history

The winery was re-established by Giuseppe Russo as a tribute to his father Girolamo. According to the company, the estate was reorganized and relaunched in 2005 and works with historic vineyards on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, cultivated using traditional practices and hand-harvested.

Production philosophy

The approach aims to highlight the character of each distinct vineyard site: viticulture practiced close to nature, attention to old bush-trained vines, and winemaking that respects the differences of each vineyard to express the minerality, freshness and complexity of the volcanic soil.

Terroir and vineyards

Vineyards located on the northern slopes of Etna, with parcels in contrade such as San Lorenzo, Feudo, Feudo di Mezzo and Calderara Sottana. The vines are situated at altitudes of approximately 650–780 meters above sea level and grow on the volcanic, sandy soils typical of Etna's "sciare".

Awards and recognitions

Etna Bianco "San Lorenzo" is listed among the wines awarded Tre Bicchieri in Gambero Rosso's 2026 selection; additionally, several vintages of the winery's labels have received high ratings from specialist publications and guides, as reported in the critical notes.
