In this episode we are in Etna on the Italian island of Sicily to speak to Giuseppe Russo, owner of the cantina Girolamo Russo.
Stevie chats with Giuseppe about the origins and history of the family-owned business and its signature labels.
Giuseppe also discusses his unconventional background in literature and classical music before returning to the family business on the death of his father.
Giuseppe then provides an overview of the cantina’s production, the importance of terroir, and the level of international demand for his vintages.
