Merchant's description

Etna Rosso Serra Della Contessa Particella 587 by Benanti, 2018, originates from the volcanic soils of Mount Etna in Sicily, a region noted for its unique terroir. This wine is crafted from a blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio, from a parcle of 100 year old Prephylloxera vines. Benanti, established in the late 19th century, has played a significant role in reviving Sicilian viticulture. The wine offers aromas of cherry and earth, with herbal and mineral nuances, revealing the complexities of its origin. A firm structure indicates potential for ageing.
