Description
Rovittello is a contrada on the north side of Mount Etna, and Benanti's Riserva from it is built on Nerello Mascalese with Nerello Cappuccio. The 2017 comes in a 1.5L magnum, a format that suits a wine meant for aging.
Nerello Mascalese is often compared to Pinot Noir for its pale color, high acidity and firm tannin. Sunday roast pork, wild mushrooms and aged pecorino are the right foods, and this magnum will reward a good hour in the decanter at the table.
