Welcome to the Distilleria dell'Etna dei F.lli Russo, the only active distillery in Eastern Sicily, with roots dating back to 1870. Nestled on a picturesque hill at the foot of Mount Etna and close to the stunning Ionian coast in Santa Venerina, Catania, this distillery has been perfecting the ancient craft of distillation for generations. Our commitment to producing high-quality Grappe, Brandies, Acquaviti, Amari, traditional liqueurs, artisanal Rosoli, and Cream Liqueurs reflects our passion for Sicilian heritage and the authentic flavors of our land.
Join us for a 60-minute guided tour of our distillery, where you will learn about our distillation process and the rich history behind our products. The experience includes a tasting of 9 exquisite items paired with delightful local pastries.

We visited the showroom directly and found kindness, courtesy, competence, quality and excellent prices. In three days they delivered the products to us in Tuscany with free shipping and we were particularly impressed by the care with which they had prepared the package, complete with gift boxes.

One of Sicilys gems! Even though we came by on a bad day for a guided tour. Marco showed us around and had a tasting of their products. Really serviceminded and helpful. We ended up with several bottles of their great grappas and liqours. Superb quality! If you happen to be in the area be sure to pay them a visit. Once again a big thanks to Marco!

It was by looking for a distillery by chance on Google and in connection with good reviews that we came across this one. The manager is very welcoming and offered us a tasting of liqueurs and artisanal creams. The lime limoncello is a very nice discovery and a very reasonable price at €9.50 for 70cl. We left with several flavors and a smile on our lips. I highly recommend it without moderation.
