Winery history Girolamo Russo

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.
