Benanti 2022 Contrada Rinazzo Etna Bianco DOC Superiore

Price

$74.99

Carricante is an under rated white wine and Benanti makes an exceptional one. The tiny town of Milo, with its volcanic sands rich in minerals, is the only area allowed to designate their white wines as Etna Superiore Bianco. This area on the sea wind swept slopes of Etna is composed of multiple terraces overlooking the Ionian Sea.

Well-structured and intensely aromatic, this beautifully balanced wine is superbly complex representing notes of orange blossom, ripe apple and crunchy white peach. The pop of acid and lava stone driven minerality on the finish leave an influence of savory anise and almond on the palate.
