Product Properties and Specifications

The Benanti Etna Rosso "Contrada Monte Serra" is a wine that showcases meticulous attention to detail. Following the manual harvest in late September or early October, the grapes undergo full destemming, maceration, and fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures for approximately 21 days. Indigenous Etna yeasts, selected by the winery through extensive experimentation, are used to enhance the wine's complexity. After fermentation, the wine ages in French oak tonneaux for 12 months, followed by stainless steel aging to maintain its fresh, vibrant character. Finally, the wine spends about 10 months in the bottle before being released, ensuring a perfect balance and depth of flavor.
