2013 Etna Rosato

The 2013 Etna Rosato is a fabulous rose that opens to a cranberry pink color and offers pretty aromas of white cherry and wild strawberry. The mouthfeel is tonic, mineral-driven and crisp. Drink 2014-2018. Giuseppe Russo is among my favorite Etna producers. A trained pianist, he abandoned music to make wine after his father’s death. His cellar is the old garage that his father once used for woodshop, and his mom (a fabulous cook) lives in the apartment above. Giuseppe has recently made improvements to his winery space and he continues to farm according to tried and true Etna tradition. Importer: Panebianco, www.panebiancollc.com
