This is wine grown on the side of an active volcano, and it tastes like it.
Wine from the Volcano
From the black, ashy slopes of Mount Etna comes a bottle full of smoke, salt, and raw energy. The Benanti family didn't just make Etna famous; they revived it. They trusted in Carricante, the noble white grape of the mountain, and created a wine that feels like it has been struck by lightning.
The 2023 vintage is electric: lemon pith and white grapefruit zip across a foundation of flinty minerality and briny sea air. Fermented in stainless steel, this wine is all about purity and place. It is tense, vibrant, and leaves a finish that lingers like a Sicilian sunset.
How to Enjoy
Often called the “White Burgundy of the Mediterranean,” Etna Bianco has the structure to pair beautifully with grilled swordfish, pasta with sardines, or roasted vegetables.
