Graceful and elegant white Sicilian, highlighting the best of Etna Bianco. The nose is understated yet refined, with floral accents that add strength and nuance. On the palate, it's a masterclass in stability and precision, with a bracing crispness that cuts through the richness. The close is long and satisfying, with a wisp of minerality that leaves a long impression. A truly remarkable wine, and a testament to the skill of the winemaker.

Decadent and nuanced white wine with a nose of butter, grapefruit, apple, pear, peaches, stone, and herbs, polished by a dry and bright finish. The minerality is intense and long-lasting, with a zesty aftertaste.
Ville
Dense and layered wine with a strong presence, featuring a multi faceted interplay of crushed stone and stonefruit on the nose. The definition and vibrancy are tempered by a soft wetstone and minerality, while the salinity touches unfold with a delightful caper and shell presence.

Benanti Contrada Cavaliere Etna Bianco is an exceptional white wine from the Etna region in Sicily, Italy.

The palate is equally impressive, with a vibrant acidity that brings freshness and liveliness to the wine. The citrus flavors continue to shine through, accompanied by flavors of juicy white peaches and a touch of tropical fruit.
