Benanti Rovittello from the Etna region is a captivating red wine that showcases the unique character of its terroir. This exquisite blend, composed primarily of Nerello Mascalese with a touch of Nerello Cappuccio, exhibits a medium body that strikes a harmonious balance between elegance and depth. The high acidity presents a refreshing and lively component, while the fruit intensity is prominently highlighted, revealing notes of dark cherry, plum, and subtle spices that entice the palate. The tannins are notably firm, adding structure and complexity, yet they remain well-integrated, providing a smooth finish. This wine is bone dry, allowing its intriguing flavors to shine without any cloying sweetness, making it a perfect companion for rich dishes or an evening of appreciation on its own.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
