89/100 WS

Pale ruby red.

On the nose ethereal and intense, showing bright aromas of wild red fruits, ripe berries, and subtle floral hints.

On the palate dry, harmonious, and medium-bodied with lively, pleasant acidity and clear saline volcanic minerality.Fine, persistent tannins lead into a long, balanced finish driven by fresh red fruit.

Serving: Best served at 64°F – 66°F (18°C – 19°C). Slightly cool room temperature allows the high-altitude aromas and fresh acidity to stay focused.

Food Pairing: This bottle is highly versatile at the table.

Meats: Roasted or grilled red meats, pork, cured meats (charcuterie), and game or white meats.

Fish: Substantial fish dishes (such as grilled swordfish, tuna steak, or rich tomato-based fish stews), where its low-tannin structure and bright acidity complement without overpowering.

Cheeses: Medium-aged to mature cheeses.

Regional Sicilian Dishes: Pasta with meat ragù, eggplant caponata, or mushroom-based dishes.

Benanti Etna Rosso 2022 is a red from the Etna DOC in Sicily, made from Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. Benanti is a pioneer of modern Etna winemaking, and the only estate with vineyards on all four slopes of the volcano. The grapes grow at 450-900 meters on ancient volcanic soils and are fermented with the estate’s own native yeasts. Most of the wine ages in stainless steel, with a small portion in neutral French oak, to keep it fresh and pure. In the glass it is a pale ruby, with bright wild red fruit, ripe berries and subtle floral notes. The palate is dry and medium-bodied, with lively acidity, a saline volcanic minerality, fine tannins and a long, fresh finish of red fruit.

Why buy it: This is a 89-point Wine Spectator red from one of Etna’s most respected producers, and a great introduction to Sicily’s volcanic wines. If you enjoy Pinot Noir or lighter Nebbiolo, it offers a similar elegance and transparency, with a distinctive mineral edge. It is versatile at the table, and ready to enjoy now or over the next several years, through 2031.

When to open it: Open it for a relaxed dinner with friends, a Sicilian-inspired meal, or an evening when you want something fresh and a little different from your usual red. Serve it slightly cool, at 64-66°F (18-19°C). It pairs well with pasta with meat ragù, grilled pork or tuna steak, and charcuterie.

The Benanti family history on Mount Etna traces back to 1734, but modern operations were founded in 1988 by Dr. Giuseppe Benanti. He is widely recognized as the key pioneer who sparked the modern quality renaissance of Etna wines.

Benanti is the only winery with vineyards across all four slopes of Mount Etna (North, East, South-East, and South-West). This provides access to diverse microclimates, elevations (450 m up to over 900 m / 1,500 ft to ~3,000 ft), and ancient volcanic soil formations.

The estate exclusively farms native Sicilian grapes—primarily Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio for reds, and Carricante for whites. Vines range from 10 to over 100 years old, trained in both spurred cordon and traditional head-trained bush vines (alberello).

The goal is pure expression of terroir rather than heavy winemaking tricks or oak extraction. Benanti isolates and uses its own patented indigenous yeasts, selected after years of cellar research directly from their own Etna vineyards to ensure authentic fermentation.

For the entry-level Etna Rosso DOC, grapes are hand-harvested in October, de-stemmed, and vinified separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.

To protect primary red fruit aromas and volcanic salinity, ~80% matures in stainless steel, while ~20% spends 8–10 months in neutral French oak barriques before spending 2–3 months refining in the bottle prior to release.
