Organic/Bio Russo’s Calderara Sottana is more red-fruited and open/fleshy than the darker, more intense, San Lorenzo. But there’s still plenty of intensity to the perfume and flavors and grip on the long, minerally, finish. Delicious.

Wine Advocate: 96 Points

“The Girolamo Russo 2021 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana emerges as one of the finest wines made on Etna in recent years. The bouquet is nuanced and rich with many moving parts, which span from red fruits, cassis, blue flower and campfire ash. These tones are linked together with seamless integration but remain lifted and bright nonetheless. The wine shows fine structure and plenty of minerality on the close.”

James Suckling: 95 Points

“Sweet berry and flower aromas with orange peel and blossom. Very intense and flavorful yet stealth and focused. It’s medium-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that run the length of the wine. Chewy and polished. Drink after 2025 but already extremely attractive.”
