Benanti Etna Rosso Contrada Cavaliere 2023

Red
Etna, Italy

WineSaint

Gorgeous energy and transparency from this high-elevation site. Wild cherry and pomegranate flow with Mediterranean herbs and volcanic ash. The acidity is piercing, driving mineral-laced fruit through a long, saline finish. Silky tannins provide structure without weight. Ready now but will develop through 2030.
