Girolamorussio Sicilian Etna DOC Rose – Dry Italian Red Blend

Girolamo Russo’s 2024 Etna Rosato: A Sicilian Rosé with Depth and Distinction
Hailing from the volcanic soils of Sicily’s Mount Etna, this 100% Nerello Mascalese rosé redefines Italian pink wines with its striking complexity and aging potential. Crafted by renowned producer Girolamo Russo, this wine offers a vibrant expression of its terroir, blending crisp acidity with lush fruit flavors that linger long on the palate.

Expect an invigorating burst of fresh watermelon and ripe strawberry aromas, subtly underscored by a hint of warm cinnamon—a signature touch of Etna’s volcanic minerality. On the palate, the wine balances bright citrus zest with velvety red berry notes, creating a harmonious dance between freshness and depth that sets it apart from lighter-style rosés.

What truly distinguishes this bottle is its remarkable aging ability. While many rosés are best enjoyed young, this wine gains elegance over 1–2 years in the cellar, developing nuanced spice and layered fruit complexity without losing its invigorating crispness. Even after aging, it remains vibrant and refined—a testament to its quality and structure.

Perfect for summer picnics or sophisticated dinners alike, its versatility shines with seafood pasta, grilled vegetables, or spicy dishes. With 12.5% alcohol by volume, it offers approachable richness without heaviness.

For wine lovers seeking a Sicilian rosé that transcends seasonal sipping—this Nerello Mascalese Rosato delivers lasting value and sophistication. A standout choice for those who appreciate wines that evolve over time while maintaining their lively character.
