The Benanti family, whose Sicilian roots date back to 1734, were true pioneers of Etna with Giuseppe Benanti being the first to realise the true potential for this unique volcanic region. Etna would not be what it is today, were it not for the visionary work of Giuseppe Benanti. The winery, which was set up in 1988 has, over time, sold off the lesser deemed plots of land and acquired further plots in the most prestigious slopes and Contrada. Now totalling 28 hectares, the winery only produces wines from Nerelo Mascalese, Nerelo Capuccio and Carricante.
Benanti Etna Rosato 2022
12.5% abv
100% Nerello Mascalese
The grapes are harvested by hand in early October and de-stemmed. They then undergo pre-fermentative cold maceration for 12 hours and are then soft-pressed to obtain 65% of the free-run juice. Fermentation lasts 10 days and occurs in a stainless steel vat, at a controlled temperature, without any skin contact, with the aid of Benanti’s own indigenous yeast, which was selected from local vineyards through years of research and experimentation in the celllar. The wine matures on the fine lees and then refines in the bottle for 2-3 months.
