Organic/Bio Pre-Order Only At the very top of San Lorenzo, at 750 meters elevation, almost too high to be “Etna Rosso,” Russo farms a 0.7HA plot of vines planted in the early 1940s. Originally they were trained on traditional albarello (stakes) but now have some wires to support the old, frail, vine trunks. Darker and more powerful than the “regular” San Lorenzo, this is Etna Rosso for grilled and roasted meats. Around 700 bottles made.
"This has a vibrant, smoky minerality combined with delicate black pepper, orange zest and wild strawberries enhanced by cinnamon and rhubarb. Same delicacy on the palate with softness, integrated lifted acidity and energetic tannins. More elegant than powerful, this is a classy wine, tense and savory."
"The 2021 Etna Rosso San Lorenzo Piano delle Colombe is intense and youthfully backward, grumbling up with a tightly coiled yet complex bouquet. Exotic spices emerge amidst a mix of dried berries, with shavings of cedar and hints of forest floor that ground the experience. It’s elegant and harmonious throughout. Textures of pure silk gain lift through brilliant acidity as a coating of chalky minerals saturates and ripe wild berry fruit cascade throughout. This tapers off with a piercing layer of fine tannin as violet inner florals and notes of tart blackberry linger on. This is the most complete interpretation of Piano delle Colombe I’ve experienced. In a word: superb."
