The Benanti family truly is one of the originals - they have farmed estate vineyards on Mount Etna since the 1800s when founder Dr. Giuseppe Benanti first planted vines. The winery is traditional and makes stunning wines of a mineral-driven and classic nature. The Benanti Family championed the carricante grape on Etna before many saw the potential of the variety. Their famed Etna Bianco Cru “Pietra Marina” is a powerful, yet complex white wine, deserving of its praise, and it has rapidly become a unicorn wine of Italy, increasingly difficult to find. Outside of the stunning carricante whites, Benanti produces a range of wines from Etna that truly speak to the complex diversity of the terroir of the region. Their approachable Etna Rosso is a precise, bright and highly crushable version of Nerello Mascalese. Antonio Benanti will be on hand to show the greatest examples of the entire appellation. A must for Italian wine lovers!
