Girolamo Russo 'A Rina' Etna Rosso 2024
DOZEN: $734.40 or $61.20 each
À Rina is Giuseppe Russo's masterpiece of harmony - a composition of three noble contrade: San Lorenzo with its windswept heights, the intimate Feudo and the powerful Calderara Sottana. Ninety per cent Nerello Mascalese is combined with ten per cent Nerello Cappuccio to create a wine that is far more than the sum of its parts. Giuseppe does not call it an entry-level wine, but rather a "melody of three terroirs that harmonise with each other".
In the glass, ruby red elegance with a garnet sheen, while the bouquet tells a sensual journey through Etna's soul: Wild strawberries and cherries with notes of wild sage, damp concrete and a hint of mandarin. All the magic of volcanic minerality unfolds on the palate - fresh and complex, with silky tannins and that salty depth that only centuries-old lava soil can give. Giuseppe's father would be proud of his son. SUPERIORE.DE
