A dynamic wine, Benanti Etna Rosso is crafted from a select blend of grapes harvested from vineyards located on the northern, south-eastern, and south-western slopes of Mount Etna. These diverse vineyard sites benefit from the region's volcanic soils and varying altitudes, which impart complexity and depth to the wine. The result is a vibrant and well-balanced red, showcasing the unique character of Mount Etna's terroir, with a refined minerality, fresh acidity, and rich fruit flavors.
WINEMAKING Fermentation occured at a controlled temperature of 25°C in stainless steel vats, with a 20-21 days long maceration, using patented selected indigenous yeasts. About 80% of the wine then matured in stainless steel tanks, while about 20% matures in used French oak barriques for 8-10 months).
TASTING NOTES The wine color is pale ruby. The scent is ethereal and intense, with hints of red fruits. The taste and body are balanced, dry, medium-bodied, and mineral, with pleasant acidity and saline notes, red fruit aromas, and persistence.
The 2022 Etna Rosso wafts up with a perfumed blend of rosy florals and hints of juniper berry. This is vividly fruit-focused, with a wave of ripe wild berries and sweet spices that flow across a stream of brisk acidity. It leaves a staining of primary concentration and mildly grippy tannins to resonate as violet inner florals slowly fade. While more extroverted than expected, the 2022 is a total pleasure to taste and maintains fantastic balance.
