Discover the captivating allure of Benanti Etna Rosso. This exceptional wine is the fruit of careful selection from vineyards scattered across the North, South-east, and South-west slopes of Mount Etna, an area celebrated for its unique terroir.
Benanti Etna Rosso is a harmonious blend of Nerello Mascalese, Etna's noble red grape, making up approximately 80-85% of the blend, and Nerello Cappuccio, contributing the remaining 15-20%. These grapes are nurtured in sandy, volcanic soils rich in minerals, with vines ranging from 10 to 60 years of age. The vineyards, varying in elevation from 450 m to 900 m above sea level, enjoy a high hill to mountain climate, with a humid and rainy cooler season, high ventilation, luminosity, and a significant diurnal range, all contributing to the distinct flavor profile of the wine.
In the glass, Benanti Etna Rosso unveils a pale ruby-red hue. The nose is ethereal and intense, with hints of red fruits. On the palate, it is dry and mineral, with a pleasant acidity and salinity, offering a persistent and harmonious taste.
Served at a temperature of 60 – 65°F, this versatile wine pairs beautifully with red meats and cheeses, as well as fish or white meats.
