Benanti Etna Bianco

Winemaking in the Benanti family can be traced back to the late 1800s in Viagrande. This deep-rooted passion for wine is what led Giuseppe Benanti to establish the namesake winery in 1988. Located on Mount Etna, “an island within the island” of Sicily, the Benanti family produces wines using 100% native grapes – Carricante, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. This wine is made from a selection of Carricante grapes from vineyards located on the eastern and southern slopes of Mount Etna, grown at higher altitudes. The wine color is pale yellow with bright greenish tints. The taste and body are dry, with mineral, and a pleasant acidity with saline notes and a long finish.
