Benanti, Etna DOC Contrada Cavaliere Rosso 2022

"It wafts up with a dusting of sweet spice and lavender-laced blackberries. This is cool-toned and crisp, with ripe red berry fruits that slowly saturate as rosy inner florals cascade throughout. Juicy acidity adds mouthwatering freshness as a coating of fine tannins settles in through the long and youthfully structured finale. The 2022 Cavaliere is a remarkably pretty Nerello Mascalese that should only require a short stay in the cellar to show its best." – Neal Martin
