Girolamo Russo 2014 San Lorenzo (Etna)

Country: Italy / San Lorenzo
Variety: Red Blend Sicily & Sardinia

This opens with aromas that recall underbrush, tilled soil, crushed stone, dried herb and menthol. The big, powerful palate delivers dried black cherry, licorice, clove, mineral and the warmth of evident alcohol. Velvety tannins provide the framework.
