Benanti Etna Bianco 2024 is a 100% Carricante from the Etna DOC in Sicily, made by Benanti, a pioneer of modern Etna winemaking. The grapes come from vines aged 20-60 years, on the eastern and southern slopes of Mount Etna at 700-950 meters. The sandy volcanic soils, big day-night temperature swings and constant mountain breezes give the wine its clarity and tension. It is fermented in stainless steel with the estate’s own native yeast and matured on fine lees. In the glass it is a pale yellow with green reflections, with delicate aromas of green apple, citrus and white flowers, plus subtle mineral and saline notes. The palate is dry and crisp, with vibrant acidity, fresh orchard fruit and a distinctive volcanic salinity, finishing long, clean and precise.

Why buy it: This is an 89-point Wine Spectator white that was also recognized by the Bibenda 2024 Italian wine guide. It is a great pick if you love crisp, mineral whites like Chablis, Albariño or Assyrtiko. Carricante is one of Sicily’s most distinctive native grapes, and this bottle shows it at its best. Customers describe it as clean, refreshing and elegant without being complicated.

When to open it: Open it for a seafood dinner, a summer evening on the patio or as an aperitif with friends. Serve it chilled, at 50-54°F (10-12°C). It pairs well with shellfish, grilled fish and light seafood pasta.

The Benanti family is recognized as the pioneer of modern fine winemaking on Mount Etna. Established in 1988 by Giuseppe Benanti (and today managed by his twin sons, Antonio and Salvino Benanti), the estate led the revival of indigenous Etna grape varieties and the exploration of the volcano’s microclimates.

Benanti is the only winery with vineyards planted on every slope of the Etna DOC (North, East, South-East, and South-West). Vineyard sites sit between 450 meters and up to 1,000 meters above sea level.

The estate practices organic farming across all 35 hectares of land.

The estate grows exclusively native Etna varieties: Carricante (whites), Nerello Mascalese, and Nerello Cappuccio (reds).

Benanti’s technical approach focuses on purity, elegance, longevity, and clear regional typicity:

Following a multi-year study initiated in 2005, Benanti isolated and patented four proprietary yeast strains native to their Etna vineyards, which are used for all fermentations to ensure authentic territorial character.

All Benanti white wines (100% Carricante) are fermented and aged exclusively in stainless steel tanks to preserve crisp acidity, high minerality, and primary fruit purity.

This Etna Bianco is produced exclusively from Carricante vines aged between 20 and 60 years, grown on the eastern and southern slopes of Mount Etna at elevations ranging from 700 to 950 meters above sea level. The sandy, mineral-rich volcanic soils with sub-acid reaction, combined with strong diurnal temperature variation and high natural ventilation, contribute to the wine’s clarity and tension. Grapes are manually harvested in mid-October, gently pressed, and fermented in stainless steel at controlled temperatures using Benanti’s proprietary indigenous yeast, isolated through extensive vineyard research. The wine matures on fine lees in stainless steel, followed by 2–3 months of bottle aging prior to release, preserving purity, freshness, and a true expression of Etna’s unique terroir.

Wine Spectator (89 Points)

Alison Napjus

Wine Spectator (89 Points): 'Clean-cut and minerally, with an overtone of stone, petrol and oyster shell. This is light on its feet and refreshing, offering a subtle mesh of apricot, Marcona almond, lemon thyme and lanolin. Carricante. Drink now. 7,382 cases made, 2,500 cases imported.'
