L'amore mio – my love. Rarely does a wine carry its character so openly in its name. This rosé spumante is Benanti's declaration of love for the Nerello Mascalese – the noble red grape variety that is otherwise synonymous with elegant red wines with a Burgundian grace on Etna. As Metodo Classico, it reveals a completely different, no less enchanting side. The grapes come from the south and south-east slopes of the volcano, where the vines are rooted between 700 and 750 metres in mineral-rich volcanic sands. Hand-picked, whole bunch pressing without destemming, fermentation at 16–18 °C in stainless steel. The base wine rests on the fine lees until late spring, followed by bottle fermentation with selected yeasts. After 24 months on the lees, disgorgement and dosage take place; a further three months of rest complete the maturation.

Delicate pink in the glass with coppery nuances, the fine perlage rises steadily. The bouquet seduces with strawberry, raspberry and a hint of orange zest, underpinned by a minerality reminiscent of sea breeze and Mediterranean herbs. Dry and elegant on the palate, with lively acidity, a subtle tannin structure and lingering notes of red fruit. A Metodo Classico of astonishing versatility – with salumi, shellfish, white meat or simply as an expression of pure volcanic romance. SUPERIORE.DE
