The Girolamo Russo 2023 Etna Bianco San Lorenzo is 90% Carricante with 10% Minnella that is aged in tonneaux for one year. The wine opens to a medium golden color and shows an open-knit character with apricot honey and saffron. The vines used to make this wine range from 20 to 80 years in age. I recommend a near-term drinking window for this wine that tends to show a slightly more oxidative and waxy character compared to the other white wines in this portfolio. Only 1200 bottles were made. Giuseppe Russo of Girolamo Russo recently leased four hectares of vines in the Contrada Marchese in Passopisciaro. I hope that means we will be seeing a new wine from this very talented Etna winemaker. Published: Apr 17 2025
