Benanti's new white wine comes 100% from the small vineyard (Contrada) Cavaliere. The vineyards in the municipality of Santa Maria di Licodìa develop at a considerable altitude (approx. 900 metres above sea level) with favourable conditions for all indigenous varieties, both red and white berries, which are cultivated here with Guyot pruning. Here, both the Nerello and the Carricante produce wines with a well-defined structure and typical varietal flavours. The vines are around 50 years old and grow on sandy, volcanic soil that is rich in minerals. The climate is alpine, with little rainfall and provides the vines with a high degree of ventilation and very large temperature differences between day and night.
Straw yellow in colour with bright green reflections. The bouquet is intense, rich, generous and delicately fruity with hints of orange blossom and ripe apple. The palate is dry, mineral, harmonious with a pleasant acidity, aromatic pressure and an interesting aftertaste of aniseed and almonds. SUPERIORE.DE
"A clean-cut, salty white, this is creamy on the palate, offering a sleek mesh of green melon, grapefruit peel, beeswax and eucalyptus notes that linger on the mouthwatering finish." Wine Spectator
"The Benanti 2021 Etna Bianco Contrada Cavaliere initially shows a layer of citrus fruit, then bitter almond and unripe peach. The bouquet is rather neutral at this young stage and develops subtly and slowly in the glass. It has a bright golden colour with greenish reflections. The finish is very clean and ends with a pronounced mineral character. Contrada Cavaliere is located on the south-west side of the volcano in Santa Maria di Licodia at an altitude of 950 metres. You should expect a beautiful aromatic development of this bottle over the next few years." Wine Advocate
"On the nose, fragrant tulips and white flowers are balanced by spicy notes of grass and stone, with undertones of bitter citrus and herbs. On the refreshing yet full-bodied palate, the citrus fruits sweeten the iced tea with lemonade, while the herbal notes linger on the finish." Wine Enthusiast
