Benanti, Carricante, Rinazzo, Etna Bianco Superiore 2021
‘Contrada Rinazzo’ Etna Bianco is a distinctive single-vineyard white wine from the Benanti estate, produced from Carricante grapes grown on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna in the Contrada Rinazzo vineyard. This particular vineyard is located at an altitude of about 800 meters, where the volcanic soils and cool, high-altitude climate contribute to the wine’s freshness, complexity, and mineral character.
The wine opens with aromatic notes of citrus fruits, green apple, and white flowers, layered with hints of herbs and a distinct minerality. On the palate, it is crisp and vibrant, with a lively acidity that balances flavors of lemon, pear, and a subtle almond note typical of Carricante. The finish is long and refined, marked by a refreshing, saline edge that reflects the volcanic origins of the vineyard.
