Tasting Notes: The Benanti Spumante Rosato Lamoremio is pink with light ruby rim and the perlage is characterized by numerous fine, and persistent bubbles. Lamorèmio is intense and delicate on the nose, with hints of red fruits. On the palate it is dry, mineral with a pleasant acidity, and slightly tannic. Pair it with cold cuts, cured meats, fresh cheese, vegetables, white meat, seafood, marinated or cooked fish-based recipes and by the glass occasions.

Estate History: Salvino and Antonio Benanti have doubled down on the indigenous grapes and old vines of Etna, re-focusing a company that had grown a little unwieldy with vineyard holdings elsewhere in Sicily. The family property is still centered around an ancient stone winery structure on the eastern slopes of the volcano, in the village of Viagrande. Although they’ve since planted newer vineyards, much of Benanti’s Carricante vines are old, gnarled alberelli (“little trees,” or bush-trained vines) at elevations reaching to 1,000 meters and higher. The soils, of course, are black volcanic ash strewn with pumice stones, with vine age ranging from 35-50 years. As is the case with so many indigenous Italian grape varieties, Carricante is not found anywhere else but Etna—and unlike most southern Italian whites, many of which are harvested in August, Carricante is a late-ripening variety that doesn’t typically reach peak maturity until mid-October.
