The company’s vineyard stretches on the south–east side of Etna, on the slopes of Monte Gorna; thanks to the soil composition, characterized by volcanic sands, Etna Rosso DOC is obtained, a particularly fine wine that retains all the flavour of the land it comes from.

Historic vines (over 50 years), and recently planted, are part of a charming and unspoiled natural environment, with the typical terraces and stone walls of lava stone, characteristic of the Etna rural architecture, where the green blends naturally with the black of the volcanic soil. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, in addition to Grillo, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, express an excellent organoleptic potential, adapting to the extraordinary climatic conditions of our territory, celebration and maximum expression of typicality.
The winemaking tradition of the Russo family begins two centuries ago and has been handed down from father to son to our days. At first, it was 1860, the Russo family devoted themselves exclusively to the cultivation of vineyards situated in the area of Solicchiata, Municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia. Then, in 1955, Don Ciccio with his son Vincenzo, the current owner, decided to bottle the wine produced from the family vineyards creating a small winery. The first wine was called Solicchiata. It was 1956; the D.O.C. Etna certification was recognized in 1968, the same year in which the brand was renamed Rusvini, up to the mark of today that is Cantine Russo. Today, along with their father, there are Gina and Francesco.
Our vineyard is situated in the town of Castiglione di Sicilia in Passopisciaro locality, in Contrada Feudo di Mezzo, 700 meters above sea level, located in a very ancient extinct crater, where the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio native vines are bred as "bush vines", supported by traditional pole chestnuts. The old part of the vineyard consists of strains that have an average age of 80 years.
We wanted to embrace the philosophy pursued in this territory of ancient farming tradition, the "bush vine", the manual cultivation, the respect of the Etna territory, the dry stone walls and the "rasole" in lava stone. The sandy–volcanic soil, the temperature excursions typical of 700 meters above sea level, a mountainous territory but in Sicily, the low yield per hectare (6,000/7,000 kg) given by pruning and cultivation with "bush vine" method, the harvest that is performed by handpicking not before the second half of October and finally, the aging in small oak barrels for 12 months.
What comes out is easy to understand: a red wine rich in essences and aromas, mineral notes; its smell is ethereal, with hints of ripe fruit, spices, hints of tobacco and vanilla, its flavour is dry, full, tannic, harmonious and persistent in taste. Ideal for red meats, game and mature cheese.
