[SOLD-OUT] Benanti Etna Rosso DOC 2017

WINE SPECTATOR'S TOP 100 WINES OF 2019!  

 

"Ruby red color. On the nose are intense aromas with hints of vanilla and ripe fruit. On the palate are elegant, harmonic and remarkably persistent flavors." - Wine Spectator

"The 2017 Etna Rosso (made with 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio) offers a very smoky and ashy bouquet that tells you, without any doubt, that this is a wine from the mighty Etna volcano. Rose petal and light berry aromas blur and soften the lines of those pretty mineral notes that are so strong at the beginning. Blue violets and blueberries are delicate accents that fill out the close. This vintage really pulls it all together nicely, a great pairing for pappardelle with wild chanterelle mushrooms." - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Benanti is a reference point producer for beautiful wines from Mount Etna. It offers a great introduction to some of the important indigenous grapes of the Etna, such as Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio are at home at the high altitude of the Etna volcano and gives wines that are fragrant and mineral-driven." - Enoteca Sileno
