 t the end of the 1800’s, Giuseppe Benanti, grandfather of Dr. Giuseppe Benanti,
began the production of wines on one of his father’s old farms
on the slopes of Mount Etna, at Viagrande (Catania). In 1988,
Giuseppe Benanti
revived the family’s old passion, with an extensive and selective
study of the Etnean soils highly devoted to viticulture. He also
investigated particular clones of indigenous vines and new oenological
techniques
to reproduce ancient fragrances using the most modern practices
of
vinification, in a perfect union of history and reality. From this five year study, wines of unique taste were produced recreating old
flavors and keeping them intact over time. Our wines
have a strong personality
|
and carry the culture and passion for wine of the
Benanti family, always driven by respect for the places,
terroir and old “palmenti”.
This passion, after revealing the marvels of the Etnean territory,
has guided them to Pantelleria and then Pachino. Today the company,
also run by Giuseppe Benanti’s sons, Antonio and Salvino,
is placed in a market range of high quality level products and
|
the request
for its wines is strongly increasing. This is mainly due to the quality of
its wines, known throughout Italy and abroad, and attested by many awards given
annually
by the most important national and international competitions.
