Etna Rosso Serra Della Contessa Particella 587 by Benanti, 2018, originates from the volcanic soils of Mount Etna in Sicily, a region noted for its unique terroir. This wine is crafted from a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, from a parcle of 100 year old Prephylloxera vines. Benanti, established in the late 19th century, has played a significant role in reviving Sicilian viticulture. The wine offers aromas of cherry and earth, with herbal and mineral nuances, revealing the complexities of its origin. A firm structure indicates potential for ageing.

Vinous
Dark and dusty, the 2018 Etna Rosso Riserva Serra della Contessa Particella No. 587 wafts up with unexpected richness as plum sauce and cinnamon spice combine with rubbed sage and hints of white smoke. This sweeps across the palate, soft, elegant and medium in body. A saturation of red and blue fruits drenches the palate in primary concentration while edgy tannins tug at the cheeks. The 2018 finishes staining and tense with notes of licorice that linger on, tapering away quicker than expected. It’s quite backward today and shows the lighthearted feel of the vintage, yet I can’t help but think that as its tannins resolve, an understated beauty will reveal itself.Eric Guido20th June 2024
