| Benanti Winery, founded in 1988 by Giuseppe Benanti in Viagrande, Sicily, is a pioneer in Etna viticulture.

Key Wine Details: • Varietals: Carricante • Region: Sicily • Appellation: Etna DOC Bianco • Aging: The maturation occurs in stainless steel on the fine lees for some time. Refined in the bottles for 2-3 months • Alcohol: 12.5% abv • Eco-Practices: Sustainable Benanti Etna Bianco, Sicilian White Wine offers a vibrant and mineral-driven profile that reflects its volcanic origins on Mount Etna’s slopes. Made primarily from Carricante grapes, it typically features crisp citrus notes—lemon zest and green apple—alongside subtle white peach and a hint of saline. A streak of flinty minerality and lively acidity adds depth and tension, making it a refreshing yet structured white wine. It’s a stellar example of how Etna’s terroir can produce wines with elegance, complexity, and a strong sense of place. |
