Girolamo Russo

The old cantina and blending house stands beside the Passopisciaro Circumetnea station, with the back yard once opened to the track for loading barili, botticelli, and sacks directly from the cellar for transport to Riposto. Run today by Giuseppe Russo, a classically trained pianist who returned to Etna after a family emergency following years of study and work abroad. Two years after returning, he was retraining the vineyards with a focus on quality wine.
