WINE DESCRIPTION

Girolamo Russo Etna Rosato is a high-quality rosé wine produced by Giuseppe Russo in the Etna appellation of Sicily, Italy. The wine is made from the Nerello Mascalese grape variety, which is grown on the volcanic soils of Mount Etna. The vineyards are located at high altitudes, which allows for slow ripening and the development of complex flavors. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and refreshing, with notes of red berries, citrus, and minerality. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.
