Cantine Russo Etna Rampante Contrada Crasa' Bianco 750 ML

This deeply hued white has a shy nose that eventually reveals whiffs of chamomile, hazelnut and yellow stone fruit. On the tangy palate, bright acidity accompanies notes of yellow peach, citrus and saline. \n \n Producer Information \n The winemaking tradition of the Russo family has been handed down from father to son until today. Towards the end of the 19th century, great-great-grandfather Vincenzo Russo dedicated himself, together with his family, to the cultivation of his own vineyards located in the Solicchiata area, municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia at around 700 m above sea level on the north-eastern side of Etna. In 1955, Francesco and Vincenzo, respectively the son and grandson of great-great-grandfather Vincenzo, decided to bottle the wine produced from the family vineyards by creating a small cellar. The first wine was called Solicchiata and was made in 1956; the DOC Etna certification was recognized in 1968, the same year in which the brand changed its name to Rusvini up to the current brand which is Cantine Russo. Today the fourth generation is represented by Gina and Francesco Russo who together with their father Vincenzo manage the historic family company.
