Made by a producer regarded as a benchmark on Etna since 1988, it brings together vivid red-fruit character, freshness and a finely mineral, saline edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBright ruby red with violet highlights, it opens with expressive aromas of ripe red fruit and delicate hints of vanilla. The palate is dry and harmonious, with lively freshness, a subtle saline-mineral character and fine, well-integrated tannins. A persistent finish returns to the wine’s red-fruit notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from vineyards on Etna’s northern, southeastern and southwestern slopes, at elevations of 450 to 900 metres. Vines grow in mineral-rich volcanic sand, while the mountain climate, steady ventilation and marked day-to-night temperature shifts help preserve aromatic finesse. Harvest takes place around mid-October; the varieties are vinified separately, destemmed and macerated on their skins for around 15 days. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks with selected native yeasts. After malolactic fermentation, Nerello Mascalese matures partly in steel and partly in French oak, while Nerello Cappuccio remains in steel; the wines are then blended and rested.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnjoy with hearty pasta dishes, red or white meats, flavourful fish and aged cheeses. Serve lightly cool, around 16–18°C, to show its freshness and aromatic detail. A short time in the glass should be sufficient; decanting is optional, though a brief decant can help the wine open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFounded in 1988, Benanti has helped establish Etna as one of Italy’s most compelling wine regions. The estate focuses on wines shaped by the volcano’s contrasting slopes, high-altitude vineyards and mineral-rich soils. Its use of selected native yeasts reflects a commitment to expressing the distinctive character of Etna.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benanti","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55383349920081,"sku":"XW-62952","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/benanti-etna-rosso-2024","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
