Vinicola Benanti Benanti Contrada Dafara Galluzzo 2022 750ml

Tasting Notes

Ethereal aromatics of red currant, wild strawberry, orange peel, and crushed volcanic rock introduce this single-vineyard red from Etna's northern slope. The palate is taut, focused, and elegantly structured, supported by a crisp pulse of mountain acidity, firm yet well-integrated tannins, and a gravelly volcanic mineral drive. Maturation in used French oak tonneaux grants refined texture and subtle spice complexity without sacrificing the wine's pure red fruit clarity, leading to a persistent, slightly austere finish. Possesses the exceptional structural tension, concentration, and focus to cellar gracefully over 7 to 12 years.
