Who Russo Siciliano Is
Russo Siciliano – Distillerie dell'Etna is a Sicilian distillery founded in 1870 in Santa Venerina, on the slopes of Europe's highest volcano. For over 150 years, the Russo family has been transforming the region's raw materials — Etna citrus fruits, Mediterranean aromatic herbs, almonds and Bronte pistachio — into liqueurs, creams and premium distillates.
The brand represents the meeting of artisanal tradition and contemporary innovation, with a range spanning from classic Sicilian liqueurs to mixology bitters and velvety creams. Every bottle tells the story of the volcanic land, the Mediterranean sun and the know-how of generations of master distillers.
