About Benanti Wine
Located on Mount Etna, “an island within the island” of Sicily, the Benanti family produces wines using 100% native grapes - Carricante, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. Benanti is the only winery with vineyards on every slope of the Etna DOC area. After 25 years at the helm of the winery, Giuseppe Benanti passed the torch to his sons in 2012. Antonio and Salvino Benanti now lead the winery, continuing the reputation as a very traditional producer and the pioneer of fine wine making on Mount Etna.
