Descrizione

San Lorenzo Etna Bianco DOC by Girolamo Russo presents a clear, focused character, where citrus freshness blends with floral notes and a subtle mineral hint reminiscent of volcanic stone. On the nose there are scents of lemon, citron and white flowers, without excess: a linear profile, elegant in its simplicity, suggesting a balance between acidity and structure.

On the palate the sip is dry and lively, with a good saline backbone that supports the wine and provides persistence. The impression is clean and well-bodied, suitable both for simply prepared fish dishes and for vegetable appetizers and fresh cheeses. Serve slightly chilled to appreciate its tension; an everyday table white with personality, capable of finding a place even on more refined occasions.

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.
