Good medium red. Super-ripe aromas of red cherry, raspberry nectar and fresh plums. Voluptuous round and fleshy on the palate, but with plenty of harmonious acidity giving lift to the deep ripe flavours of red cherry & coffee notes. Firm but polished tannins provide serious backbone on the long finish. Old Vine greatness!
Set on the north slope of the mountain, at an altitude of 650-780 metres above sea-level, the winery’s vineyards cover 18 hectares, surrounded by hazelnut and olive groves. Re-established by Giuseppe Russo in 2005, and dedicated to the memory of his father Girolamo, the winery is a powerful expression of Giuseppe’s desire to respect and conserve his family’s traditional values, but interpreting those values in a new and personal way, introducing and developing new approaches to winemaking, but remaining in the village of his birth, Passopisciaro – the centre of the recent renaissance in the great red wines of Etna.Country: Italy | Closure: Cork |
