Benanti Etna Rosso Contrada Calderara Sottana 2022
Sicilian volcanic power meets Mediterranean finesse in this mineral-driven Nerello Mascalese. Fifty-year-old vines from the Calderara Sottana contrada yield hauntingly dark complexity—crushed volcanic stone, grilled herbs, and dusty black currants meld with exotic spice and brisk acidity. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged 12 months in old French oak, balanced firm tannins with enveloping structure.
