Benanti Pietra Marina 2021 Etna Bianco Superiore DOC

A white wine from Benanti, made from Carricante grown at 800 metres in Milo. The grapes are hand-harvested and softly pressed, then fermented in temperature-controlled steel and aged on fine lees for at least 24 months with frequent batonnage. It is an elegant, taut white that suits fried seafood and salmon sashimi. In the glass it is pale straw yellow with bright luminosity. The nose shows orange blossom and jasmine, cedar, peach and plum, aromatic herbs and hydrocarbon notes. The palate is markedly fresh, savoury and juicy, with long persistence.
