Product details
Benanti stands as a benchmark producer on Mount Etna, dedicated to expressing the identity of this dramatic volcanic landscape with clarity and respect. This Etna DOC Bianco is crafted exclusively from Carricante, the region’s most noble native white grape, sourced from carefully selected sites on the eastern and southern slopes of the mountain. High elevations, intense sunlight, and mineral-rich volcanic soils shape a profile defined by purity and precision. The result is a refined, site-driven expression that captures Etna’s unique balance of freshness, structure, and natural elegance, making it a standout choice for both everyday enjoyment and refined dining.
In the glass, it shows a pale yellow hue with luminous green reflections. The aroma is delicate yet expressive, led by crisp apple and subtle citrus nuances. On the palate, it is dry and mineral-driven, with vibrant acidity and a gentle saline note that reflects its volcanic origin. The texture is clean and focused, carrying through to a persistent, harmonious finish. Refreshing and poised, it pairs beautifully with fish and seafood and is especially appealing when enjoyed on its own for its clarity and balance.
