The Etna Rosso Serra Della Contessa Particella 587 Benanti 2018 is a single-vineyard expression of Mount Etna`s terroir. Comprising predominantly Nerello Mascalese and a smaller percentage of Nerello Cappuccio, the wine showcases the structural elegance and complexity derived from the volcanic soil. Benanti, a pioneering producer on Etna, emphasises traditional methods, focusing on sustainable viticulture. The grapes are sourced from a specific part of the vineyard, benefiting from unique microclimates. This vintage reflects the intricate interplay of altitude and climate, revealing distinct herbal notes and mineral undertones characteristic of the region.

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
