Italy_Sicilia_Benanti_Etna-Bianco_2015

Benanti’s entry-level Etna Bianco is made entirely by Carricante. The grapes come from the estate’s vineyards across the eastern and southern slopes. Both fermentation and short maturation take place in stainless steel vats. The wine is then stored in the bottle for 2-3 months before release.

In the glass, this Etna Bianco has a pale straw-lemon hue. The nose emanates delicate notes of yellow apple, citrus fruit and lemon blossoms. On the palate, it’s medium in body with a medium+ intensity of flavours. Lively acidity with a pleasant mineral (almost salty) vein. Balanced, easy to drink and perfect for fish-based dishes.
