Benanti Etna Rosato 2022

The grapes are harvested by hand in early October and de-stemmed. They then undergo pre-fermentative cold maceration for 12 hours and are then soft-pressed to obtain 65% of the free-run juice. Fermentation lasts 10 days and occurs in a stainless steel vat, at a controlled temperature, without any skin contact, with the aid of Benanti’s own indigenous yeast, which was selected from local vineyards through years of research and experimentation in the celllar. The wine matures on the fine lees and then refines in the bottle for 2-3 months.
