Maybe the most classic interpretation of an Etna wine you will find, the Girolamo Russo 2020 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo sets the bar very high for all neighboring producers on the volcano. The wine is extremely elegant and nuanced with a filigree of wild berry, white cherry, mountain flower and campfire ash woven within its tight, silky texture. San Lorenzo is actually quite solid in terms of mouthfeel, despite the very light texture of its fruit weight.

Pretty nose of dried roses, red cherries, wild strawberries, licorice and lemon peel. It's medium-bodied with such vibrant red fruit, accompanied by fine, powdery tannins. Delicious finish. Long and persistent. Drink or hold.

The 2020 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo is impossible to resist, wafting up with sweet clove, incense, dried flowers and spiced citrus scents. It’s soft-textured and built on purity. Vibrant acidity guides its ripe wild strawberry fruit, and saline minerals slowly add traction toward the close. The 2020 finishes remarkably fresh, long and potent, leaving suggestions of steeped plum and licorice to linger. At times, the San Lorenzo reminds me of Rayas, yet it remains distinctly Etna in character.
