Etna has always inspired winemakers, enthusiasts, and wine lovers. Each slope of the mountain has its own history and presents an inimitable set of soil and climatic characteristics. Through the wines of our Contrade Selection we strive to express the excellence and uniqueness of each flank of the volcano, respecting centuries of human and familial vine growing and winemaking traditions.Respect for the historical traditions of Etna s contrade has remained a cornerstone for Benanti since the beginning. In the 1990s we knew it was imperative to produce wines linked to specific areas on each of Etna s four slopes. Tasting these wines is a unique opportunity to experience, in a very real sense, the idiosyncrasies of four distinctive contrade: Dafara Galluzzo in Rovittello, Castiglione di Sicilia; Rinazzo in Milo; Monte Serra in Viagrande; and Cavaliere in Santa Maria di Licodia.
