Description
Serra della Contessa is another of Benanti's named Etna vineyards, and this Riserva uses Nerello Mascalese with a share of Nerello Cappuccio. The 2020 is bottled in a 1.5L magnum, giving it a slower rate of change than a standard bottle.
One magnum is plenty for a dinner party of six. Roast pork belly, eggplant parmigiana or aged pecorino fit its savory character, and you should decant it around an hour before pouring. It will go on aging well for another decade.
