Benanti Etna Rosso Contrada Dafara Galluzzo 2020
Red
Etna, Italy

WineSaint
Dark cherry and crushed violets lead, backed by earthy spice and volcanic minerals. Deceptively elegant texture masks serious concentration underneath. Nervy acidity drives through the center, while structured tannins provide backbone without heaviness. Herb-tinged finish shows lovely persistence. Give this 5-7 years to fully integrate.
