Pietra Marina

Typicity, elegance, character and longevity: these are the qualities Benanti look for in their wines. They only cultivate native Etna varieties and follow organic practices, and only use indigenous yeasts selected after years of research in the vineyard and in the cellar. For over thirty years they have worked to preserve and enhance the bond between the Etna territory and wines. Authentic wines, wines to remember.

Since the very beginning in 1988, Giuseppe Benanti has aspired to demonstrate the high potential of Carricante grown in Milo. And indeed, this wine, whose name recalls volcanic landscapes, flintstones, minerals and saline sea breezes, is now unanimously considered one of the most typical, elegant and age-worthy whites in Italy. 

The color is pale yellow with greenish nuances. The nose is intense, rich, complex, ample and mildly fruity, with notes of orange blossom flowers and ripe apple. The palate is dry and mineral, with a pleasantly high acidity, saline notes, a marked aromatic persistence and an after taste reminiscent of anise and almond.
