Benanti - Etna Rosato 2022 (750ml)
Immerse yourself in the vibrant allure of Benanti Etna Rosato, a captivating wine hailing from the prestigious Etna D.O.C. appellation. This exquisite wine is the product of meticulous selection from vineyards nestled on the Southeastern slope of Mount Etna, a region renowned for its unique terroir.
The star of this wine is Nerello Mascalese, Etna's noble red grape, grown in the volcanic, mineral-rich soils that lend an unmistakable character to the wine. Harvested by hand in early October, the grapes are carefully de-stemmed and subjected to a pre-fermentative cold maceration for 12 hours. They are then softly pressed, yielding 65% of the free-run juice. The fermentation process carried out in stainless steel vats at controlled temperatures, lasts 10 days. This process is facilitated by Benanti's own indigenous yeast, a product of years of diligent research and experimentation. The wine matures on fine lees and then refines in the bottle for 2-3 months, enhancing its complexity and depth.
In the glass, Benanti Etna Rosato reveals a captivating pink-salmon hue. The nose is a symphony of floral and fruity notes, with hints of broom, blackberry, and cherry. On the palate, it is dry, fresh, and mineral, with a light tannic structure and a distinct aromatic persistence of red fruit notes.
It pairs beautifully with cold cuts, fresh cheeses, vegetables, white meats, fish, and shellfish.
Experience the enchanting allure of Benanti Etna Rosato, a wine that embodies the unique charm of its Etna origins and promises an unforgettable tasting journey.
