80% Nerello Mascalese, 20% Nerello Cappuccio
WINE ENTHUSIAST 94 POINTS - "Intensely sanguine and earthy on the nose, then juicy with tiny, dark berries bursting over smoky and sweet roasted nuts. Tension between the full, luxurious feel of the softening tannins and fierce, unrelenting acid give the palate vitality and momentum." — Danielle Callegari
Benanti is a historic winery for the Etna area, with a minimal-interventionist style, which focuses on an honest expression of the Nerello grapes in this unique terrain. Only around 20% of the wine was aged in previously-used, small French oak barrels, the rest in stainless steel.
