Girolamo Russo 'Feudo' Mount Etna 2021

95 pts Vinous The 2021 Etna Rosso Feudo is dark and brooding in the glass, slowly unfurling with an enticing mix of dried black cherries, incense, clove and crushed ashen stones. This sweeps across the palate with velvety textures, quickly firming up as masses of black raspberry and salty minerals saturate. Edgy tannins linger along with an enlivening bump of vibrant acidity, keeping the mouth watering despite the 2021's youthfully structured state. The balance of power and elegance here is utterly spellbinding. - By Eric Guido on March 2024 95 pts Wine Advocate The 2021 Etna Rosso Feudo is a bit more accessible overall, but I love the way the bouquet and the mouthfeel play out in this vintage. The wine offers precision and clean linearity. Fruit comes from 70-year-old vines, and the aromas are nuanced and delicate with wild fruit, rose and crushed flint. The finish is extremely smooth and silky with melting tannins.Varieties: Nerello mascalese 94%Nerello Cappuccio 6% The lan
