Tasting Notes
The Girolamo Russo 2020 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo Piano delle Colombe is more open-knit compared to the 2019 vintage (I had the opportunity to taste the two side by side). This is a lovely wine with fine fiber and delicate fruit notes of wild berry, crushed stone and white pepper. The 2019 vintage has a certain magic that does not completely manifest here (in this hot vintage). However, the wine shows the supreme elegance of Etna. - 96pts, Monica Larner for The Wine Advocate
This shows plenty of crunchy and fresh red fruit mixed with dried Mediterranean herbs, orange peel and hibiscus. Some smoky, dusty earth undertones, too. Medium-bodied. So steady and persistent on the palate with crunchy acidity and a chalky, mineral backbone. Steady and long finish. Drink or hold. - 96pts, James Suckling
