Merchant's description

Etna Bianco Contrada Rinazzo 2022 from Benanti is a white wine from the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Sourced from a high-altitude vineyard on the eastern slope, the wine is produced from 100% Carricante. The 2022 vintage captures the extreme mineral tension of the site, featuring notes of lemon blossom, green apple and sea salt. Following fermentation and maturation in stainless steel, the wine offers a sharp acidic spine and a distinct smoky character characteristic of the volcanic soils. It possesses a vertical structure and a long, saline finish that reflects the unique microclimate and volcanic terroir of the Etna region.
