Subject: ✹ Majestic Etna ✹

“This is Etna, not Sicily” said Antonio Benanti on his visit to us today where we had the extreme pleasure to taste his new releases.

Giuseppe Benanti has handed control to his twin sons Salvino and Antonio what is considered one of the most important precursors for quality wineries in the now-fashionable region of Mount Etna, on the slopes of the island’s volcano. Selling off much of the vineyards in Southeastern Sicily, the brothers are investing in Benanti’s core wines that are elegant, single-vineyard Etna flagships.

2013 Benanti Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina 

$384 6pack

80 year old Carricante vines in the city of Milo. Only the Etna Bianco produced in this region may be given the title of Superiore.

92 Points Wine Advocate “This is the wine that, when I tasted it many years ago, made me fall in love with Etna. I'm sure I am not the only person to fall under its spell. The 2013 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina is a pure expression of Carricante that offers a beautiful bouquet, with marine salt and mineral notes, citrus and a twist of orange zest. The wine is linear and pure with a solid sense of structure that passes over the palate with delicate and silky intensity. It ages on the fine lees for 24 months. Pietra Marina has a proven track record for cellar aging.” — Monica Lerner
2013 Benanti Etna Rosso Rovittello 

$348 6pack

80 Year old vines of Nerello Mascalese (Negrello) grown as alberello in the sandy, volcanic soil that is very rich in minerals

93 Points Wine Advocate “This is a beautiful wine from the Benanti family and one of my favorite wines of the bunch. The finish is silky and long, and this vintage exhibits a very concise and clear sense of aromatic and tannic precision. Elegant mineral tones appear on the long, silky finish. But it should hold well in your cellar.”
— Monica Lerner
