2022 Benanti Etna Rosso, Sicily, Italy (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

Benanti Etna Rosso is a pale ruby red. The nose is ethereal and intense, with hints of red fruits. Balanced, dry, medium-bodied, mineral with a pleasant acidity and saline notes, red fruit aromas, and persistent finish.

TASTING NOTES: 

The 2022 Etna Rosso wafts up with a perfumed blend of rosy florals and hints of juniper berry. This is vividly fruit-focused, with a wave of ripe wild berries and sweet spices that flow across a stream of brisk acidity. It leaves a staining of primary concentration and mildly grippy tannins to resonate as violet inner florals slowly fade. While more extroverted than expected, the 2022 is a total pleasure to taste and maintains fantastic balance.
