It is an elegant and harmonious wine, primarily made from \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Mascalese\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes with a small percentage of \u003cstrong\u003eNerello Cappuccio\u003c\/strong\u003e. These two indigenous grape varieties work in synergy to create a medium-bodied red, balanced and with a distinct territorial imprint, capable of conveying the minerality and freshness of its volcanic terroir in every sip.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe 2022 vintage on Etna was characterized by regular climatic conditions, with warm but not excessive summers and good day-night temperature variations. This favored a slow and uniform ripening of the grapes, ensuring clear aromas and excellent tannic structure. The grapes are hand-picked between October and November in vineyards located between 450 and 800 meters above sea level, where the fresh mountain air helps preserve acidity and aromatic fragrance.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and Aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\nThe Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes are vinified separately in stainless steel to enhance the specific characteristics of each varietal. Fermentation occurs at controlled temperatures with a light \u003cem\u003emaceration\u003c\/em\u003e on the skins (a phase where the must remains in contact with the solid parts of the grape to extract color and tannins). A portion of the wine obtained from Nerello Mascalese subsequently ages in \u003cstrong\u003ebarriques\u003c\/strong\u003e — small oak barrels — for several months, while the rest rests in stainless steel. The final blend is then composed with balance, based on the peculiarities of the vintage, to achieve a harmonious and consistent taste profile with the Benanti style.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eEtna Rosso DOC 2022 - Benanti\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wine that offers pleasant complexity during tasting, with aromas and sensations that evolve in the glass.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColor\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIt presents a \u003cstrong\u003ebrilliant ruby red color\u003c\/strong\u003e with garnet reflections, a sign of youth but also of potential evolution.\n\n\u003ch3\u003eNose\u003c\/h3\u003e\nOn the nose, it is delicate and intriguing: scents of ripe \u003cstrong\u003ered fruits\u003c\/strong\u003e like cherry and raspberry emerge, accompanied by delicate spicy notes and aromatic herbs, typical of volcanic soils.
