95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Girolamo Russo 2020 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo opens to a hint of salinity or minerality that is specific to this site. Those linear aromas tend to frame a tight core of wild fruit, white cherry, apricot and mountain flowers like blue bonnet or Sicilian ginestra, which grows with yellow blooms on the flanks of the volcano. The wine's interesting saltiness cedes directly to the mouthfeel. The tannins are more prominent in this vintage. You should get very good aging potential from this bottle.Drink: 2023-2038 (6/30/23)"
93 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "[$78 list] The remarkably pretty 2020 Etna Rosso Feudo d'Mezzo opens with a whiff of sweet spice that gives way to dried roses, cinnamon and clove. This is surprisingly juicy and energetic in feel, with crisp red fruits propelled by vibrant acidity as citrus adds cheek-puckering tension toward the close. The 2020 finishes dramatically long with a saturating concentration and edgy tannins that curl the tongue as sour cherry hints fade. This is deceivingly open and giving yet remarkably complex. I suggest checking in on one for its primary fruit but then cellaring the rest to unveil their underlying power. Drink: 2024-2031. (Sep 2023)"
93 points James Suckling: "Pretty nose of ripe red cherries, cranberries, chocolate orange and nutmeg. It's juicy and silky, with medium body and fine tannins. Very drinkable, with delicious fruit and nut-chocolate notes. Drink or hold. (9/6/22)"
