Girolamo Russo, Etna Rosso San Lorenzo 2016

$65.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio

Imagine owning vineyards on the foothills of an active volcano. Nutty though it may seem, to winemaker Giuseppe Russo, it’s just a way of life. Some lava flow is so recent you can’t even plant on it! The vineyards are very high nearing 800 feet above sea level, often using narrow terraces held up by stone walls. The vines must survive in these mineral-rich soils, which thrive considering there is often no rain in summer. Many of the vineyards are surrounded by olive and hazelnut groves, all whilst growing at the base of Europe’s largest active volcano, Mount Etna.

San Lorenzo is a single vineyard coming from the larger contrada of Randazzo. These are coplanted 80 year old vines that sit at a relatively high altitude of 750 plus meters above sea level. Only the oldest vines from a single hectare parcel are used for this wine. San Lorenzo is aged in a variety of formats, with large barrels, cement, and vats.

SRC, 'Alberello' Etna Rosso 2019

$62.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nerello Mascalese

SRC is a small family operation that started in just 2013. Amazingly, the wines are low-production and have just recently become available here in Ohio. It is the force of husband and wife duo, Rori and Cinzia, as well as their daughter, Sandra. This is how SRC gets its name—an acronym of all their names. The project began as a small plot of land of just 0.5 hectares that Rori purchased as a surprise for Cinzia, one that went over rather well as the family continued acquiring land. The identity of Etna comes through in each of SRC’s wines where they showcase the ancient low-yielding vines, the volcanic soils, and the charming Mediterranean spirit. The family uses a careful hand in the cellar, allowing the fruit to shine—no sulfur and minimal oak ageing. We agree with many who say these wines are truly representative of their sense of place more so than any other place in the world.

“Alberello” is the name of this site boasting vines up to 100 years old that never saw phylloxera. The vines are home to softer volcanic ash on this part of the volcano allowing for a softer and intensely aromatic wine showcasing the real charm of Nerello Mascalese. The juice ages in concrete for twelve months, allowing the Albello’s purity to really shine.

SRC, 'Rivaggi' Etna Rosso 2019

$62.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nerello Mascalese & Grenache

SRC is a small family operation that started in just 2013. Amazingly, the wines are low-production and have just recently become available here in Ohio. It is the force of husband and wife duo, Rori and Cinzia, as well as their daughter, Sandra. This is how SRC gets its name—an acronym of all their names.

The family uses a careful hand in the cellar, allowing the fruit to shine—no sulfur and minimal oak ageing. We agree with many who say these wines are truly representative of their sense of place more so than any other place in the world.

This is an entirely different approach to Nerello comparatively. Here, the fruit comes from 80 year old vines growing at almost 1000 meters in elevation. Grenache, known for growing well at high altitudes, makes up the remaining fifth of the blend. The juice goes through a unique winemaking journey; it ages in steel first, then a couple months in used French barrels, and finally back into the steel to complete the ageing. “Rivaggi” has everything going for it; the wine has backbone and elegance, fruit and minerality, acidity and aromatics.

SRC, Etna Rosato 2020

$30.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante, & Minnella

SRC is a small family operation that started in just 2013. Amazingly, the wines are low-production and have just recently become available here in Ohio.

The family uses a careful hand in the cellar, allowing the fruit to shine—no sulfur and minimal oak ageing. We agree with many who say these wines are truly representative of their sense of place more so than any other place in the world.

This rosato is completed with the lesser popular rose method of blending both red and white varieties together to make this saturated rose. The wine better represents Etna than any other style due to it bringing all those varieties together. The vines on the north side of Etna are fairly old for what might be used for a rose, but then again, SRC is not your typical winemaker. The ageing takes place over ten months, which is a lengthy time for a rose.

The family uses a careful hand in the cellar, allowing the fruit to shine—no sulfur and minimal oak ageing. We agree with many who say these wines are truly representative of their sense of place more so than any other place in the world.

These are 70 year old vines that thrive in the volcanic soil in Mt. Etna, especially when done naturally as this family has done. The wine ages in cement for one year before its release.

SRC, Rosato Frizzante 2020

$37.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Nerello Mascalese

SRC is a small family operation that started in just 2013. Amazingly, the wines are low-production and have just recently become available here in Ohio. It is the force of husband and wife duo, Rori and Cinzia, as well as their daughter, Sandra. This is how SRC gets its name—an acronym of all their names. The project began as a small plot of land of just 0.5 hectares that Rori purchased as a surprise for Cinzia, one that went over rather well as the family continued acquiring land. The identity of Etna comes through in each of SRC’s wines where they showcase the ancient low-yielding vines, the volcanic soils, and the charming Mediterranean spirit. The family uses a careful hand in the cellar, allowing the fruit to shine—no sulfur and minimal oak ageing. We agree with many who say these wines are truly representative of their sense of place more so than any other place in the world.

Nerello Mascalese is Sicily’s answer to Pinot Noir, which lends itself well to making sparkling wine as it were Champagne. The vine in this part of Etna reach 700 meters in elevation and a staggering 50 years in age. This wine is a frizzante, a simple term for sparkling wine, though it does go through a secondary fermentation. The frizzante rosato showcases the potential of Etna’s terroir with its purity of fruit, a streak of minerality, and while perfectly dry, its invigorating personality leaves you wanting more.

SRC, Terre Siciliane Bianco 2020

$40.00

Shipping calculated at checkout.

Variety: Carricante and Grecanico

SRC is a small family operation that started in just 2013. Amazingly, the wines are low-production and have just recently become available here in Ohio. It is the force of husband and wife duo, Rori and Cinzia, as well as their daughter, Sandra. This is how SRC gets its name—an acronym of all their names. The project began as a small plot of land of just 0.5 hectares that Rori purchased as a surprise for Cinzia, one that went over rather well as the family continued acquiring land. The identity of Etna comes through in each of SRC’s wines where they showcase the ancient low-yielding vines, the volcanic soils, and the charming Mediterranean spirit. The family uses a careful hand in the cellar, allowing the fruit to shine—no sulfur and minimal oak ageing. We agree with many who say these wines are truly representative of their sense of place more so than any other place in the world.

This Bianco is made from the traditional Carricante with the addition of Grecanico (known as Garganega in northern Italy.) The vines are 50 to 70 years in age from black sandy soils on the north side of Etna. The winemaking is minimal, with the fruit undergoing 12 hours of maceration which is fairly common for these varieties. The lightly grippy tannin adds complexity while imparting texture and increasing its ageing potential.
