Light enough to drink with anything. Easy drinker. — 6 months ago
Nose - salt and sea air and a little funk. Appearance - beautiful grapefruit color/fizzy pink lemonade appearance. Main tastes - drinks like a lime soda in the best way possible. Super duper drinkable, dangerously so ;) — 2 months ago
Quite yellow gold colour , wide light lemon rim. Shows quite a lot of development . Quite toasty with roasted nuts , candied citrus peel , candle wax , ginger , saffron, curry powder, sea breeze. On the palate this is structured and quite full bodied with the nutty character , ginger and candied lemon rind , great intensity and grip , salty , balanced acidity and very long and balanced on the finish . Drinking well now but needs time to open , will probably continue at this high level for another 5-10 years and maybe even improve further — 2 months ago
🤩 Benanti is an iconic, family run estate with a front-seat majestic view of Etna’s terrain, founded by Giuseppe Benanti in 1988, now carried forward by Giuseppe’s two sons Antonio and Salvino. Preserving the heritage of Etna’s unique terroir, the Benantis devote themselves to making wine with local varieties. 🍇
After delicate pressing, the free-run juice underwent fermentation with an indigenous yeast and aged on the fine lees in stainless steel for 30 months with regular bâtonnage (stirring). 😆
📝 The result is divine with a bouquet of harmonious aromas and flavors featuring ripe papaya, mango, cantaloup, white nectarine, kumquat, bergamot, lemon oil, cherry blossom, cream, toast, gunflint, fresh tarragon, sage, crushed stones, oystershell, sea spray & blanched almond notes.
💫This wine has verve & elegance!
😋 On the palate, it’s dry, with electrifying acidity, a medium body, textured mouthfeel, medium alcohol (12.5% ABV) & persistent finish. — a day ago
Super light finish! Easy to enjoy! — 2 months ago
Nice but subdued overall. Expected more for the price. — 5 months ago

Medium gold color. Aromas of tasted coconut, apricot and lemon. Stone fruit on the palate, dried apricot, minimum butter on the finish.
