Russo & Longo
Russo & Longo operates in Calabria, the southernmost region of mainland Italy, where Mediterranean sun and ancient volcanic soils shape distinctive wines. The winery works with indigenous and international varieties suited to the region's warm climate. Jachello, a blend of Sangiovese, Greco, and Gaglioppo, anchors the portfolio—a wine that draws on Calabria's native grapes alongside the structure of Tuscany's Sangiovese. Terre di Trezzi, made from Greco Bianco, reflects the region's white wine tradition: Greco thrives in southern Italy's heat, yielding wines with mineral depth and aromatic character. The Malvasia-Sauvignon blend pairs two contrasting varieties—Malvasia's soft, honeyed notes with Sauvignon Blanc's herbaceous precision—a modern expression of Calabrian winemaking.
