'Pietramarina' Etna Bianco Superiore Benanti 2018

Etna Bianco Superiore DOC Pietramarina is an excellent terroir wine, proposed by the historic Sicilian winery Benanti; a productive reality that rises in Viagrande, in an ancient farm located on the slopes of Etna. This label takes shape from the vinification of the excellent 100% autochthonous Carricante grape, fruit of 80-year-old vines, grown on soils of volcanic origin that rise on the eastern slope of Etna, at about 1000 meters above sea level. A real record! With several awards, including that of the Vitae AIS Guide, Etna Bianco Superiore DOC Pietramarina is the result of a harvest carried out between the second and third ten days of October. After harvesting, the grapes are transferred to the cellar, where they are softly pressed, to then follow a fermentation process in steel. Subsequently, the wine is aged, again in steel, for a minimum of one year, after which it is bottled. Before being marketed, it is still aged in glass for 10-12 months. The end result is a white with excellent longevity. A label, intense, with a warm sip, which emerges for its flavor and for its long persistence.
