2022 Benanti Etna Rosso

90

Vinous

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.

A classic blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. It is light on its feet and vividly fruit-focused, bursting with wild strawberries and red cherries with just a whisper of volcanic ash on the finish

Notes

Benanti Etna Rosso is a classic and elegant red wine from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, produced by one of the region's most respected wineries, Benanti. Crafted primarily from Nerello Mascalese, with a small percentage of Nerello Cappuccio, this wine reflects the unique terroir of Etna, characterized by high-altitude vineyards and mineral-rich volcanic soils. Benanti’s dedication to traditional winemaking methods allows the true essence of these native grapes to shine. On the nose, the Etna Rosso reveals enticing aromas of red cherries, wild berries, and pomegranate, with hints of dried herbs, spices, and a touch of smoky minerality. The palate is medium-bodied, with fine tannins and bright acidity, offering flavors of red fruit, earthy undertones, and a subtle, savory edge. The wine finishes long and refined, with a mineral-driven character that speaks to its volcanic origins. This Etna Rosso pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, including roasted meats, mushroom risotto, grilled vegetables, and aged cheeses. It can be enjoyed in its youth with a little decanting or aged for several years to develop even greater complexity. Benanti Etna Rosso is a superb example of how traditional winemaking and unique terroir combine to create a distinctive and expressive red wine from Sicily’s iconic Mount Etna.
