WINE DESCRIPTION
Benanti Etna Rosato is a high-quality rosé wine produced by the renowned Benanti winery in the Etna appellation of Sicily, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of indigenous grape varieties grown in the volcanic soils of Mount Etna, which impart unique mineral and savory notes to the wine. The winemaking process involves a combination of traditional and modern techniques, including gentle pressing of the grapes and temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is a delicate and refreshing rosé with a pale pink color, aromas of wild berries and citrus, and a crisp, dry finish. It is a perfect match for seafood, salads, and light pasta dishes.
