Benanti 2008 Serra della Contessa (Etna)

Country: Italy / Serra della Contessa
Variety: Red Blend Sicily & Sardinia
Winery: Benanti / Etna

The explosive success of Etna today has a lot to do with this wine. Serra della Contessa became one of this first bottles to show the enological potential of the Sicilian volcano. Elegant and pristine, this dark garnet wine offers drying mineral tones backed by natural rubber, small berry fruit and cola. The tannins are very polished and fine.
