Benanti Etna Bianco Pietra Marina 2018 is a medium-bodied dry white wine produced from 100% Carricante on the volcanic slopes of mount Etna in Sicily. The vineyard is over the sea at an altitude of 800m on sandy volcanic soil. The vines are up to 90 years old and are planted at a high density of up to 9,000 plants per hectare. The wine is naturally fermented then aged on fine lees for 24 months with periodic bâtonnage before being bottled. The wine is refined in bottle for 12 months. Intense, rich and complex, with hints of citrus, ripe apple and orange blossom, alongside anise and Etna`s signature minerality.

The 2018 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina captivates with a savory blend of crushed rocks, raw almonds and musky dried apricot. It's deeply textural with a saline tinge to its orchard fruits and brisk acidity that maintains energy throughout. The 2018 leaves a lemon and mineral twang through the long, lightly structured finale as hints of liquid stone linger. The PietraMarina is currently wrapped up tight with youthful poise, yet it should blossom beautifully in a few years.Eric Guido1st September 2023
