Etna DOC Rosso Contrada San Lorenzo Piano delle Colombe 2021 Girolamo Russo

Girolamo Russo's Etna Rosso Piano delle Colombe was born in vineyards over 80 years old located in the Contrada San Lorenzo (Randazzo), in the extraordinary wine-growing panorama of Etna.

It is produced with 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes. Fermentation takes place in open vats with indigenous yeasts and lasts approx. 10 days, with maceration on the skins for 18 days. Subsequently the wine ages in oak tonneaux and barriques for 18 months, and for a further 12 months in the bottle.

It is characterized by an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with a rich bouquet of small red fruits, blueberry and currant, with earthy and undergrowth notes. On the palate it is warm and deep, with fine tannins and a beautiful persistence.

Perfect to accompany stewed red meats and pork and mature cheeses.
