Etna Rosso Benanti 2022 is composed predominantly of Nerello Mascalese (80-85%) and Nerello Cappuccio (15-20%), sourced from vineyards on the varied slopes of Mount Etna. The vines, ranging from 10 to 60 years old, are cultivated in sandy, volcanic soils. The grapes are hand-harvested in October and processed separately; fermentation occurs in stainless steel at controlled temperatures using indigenous yeasts, followed by limited ageing. Benanti, established in 1988, is known for its commitment to producing authentic wines that reflect the distinct terroir of Sicily’s volcanic landscape.

- 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.
