The Wine House is thrilled to welcome Antonio Benanti, Owner and Winemaker of Azienda Benanti, and the current President of the Etna DOC, to showcase the estate’s recent releases. As we’ve noted before, Sicily is an exciting ‘up and coming’ region in Italy, and Azienda Benanti is one of the early stars. While the family has been farming grapes in the region since the 1800s, in 1988, Giuseppe Benanti embarked on a rigorous study of native grape varieties and began production of wines on one of his father’s old farms on the slopes of Mount Etna. Benanti earned the prestigious ‘Winery of the Year’ from Italy’s Gambero Rosso in 2007. The estate’s wines are cherished for their authentic expression of the indigenous varieties – especially Nerello Macalese, which some people compare to a Burgundian Pinot Noir or a Nebbiolo from Barolo.
