Benanti
Lamorèmio Brut Rosato Metodo Classico
One of the few Sparkling wines from Etna made of 100% Nerello Mascalese using the Classic Method, on the lees for 24 months. Selection of grapes from vineyards located on the southern slopes of Mount Etna, particularly suitable given the high altitude and abundant luminosity.
The grapes are sourced from vineyards on the southern slopes of Mount Etna, an area renowned for its high altitude and abundant luminosity, creating ideal conditions for vine growth. The vineyards are sustainably cultivated, with vine ages ranging from 12 to 22 years. The soil is sandy and volcanic, rich in minerals with a sub-acidic reaction, providing a unique terroir that enhances the quality of the grapes. With a southern exposure, the vineyards receive ample sunlight, promoting optimal ripening. The vines are planted at a density of 6,000 to 7,000 vinestocks per hectare (2,429 - 2,834 vines per acre), ensuring concentrated and flavorful fruit.

“The nose is a savory blend of warm bricks and hibiscus tea, with an undertone of blood orange zest providing pop. The hibiscus continues onto the tart, tangy palate, while astringent notes of cranberry and more pink citrus play off the persistent perlage.”

“The 2020 Brut Metodo Classico Rosato Lamorèmio bursts from the glass with a smoky, savory bouquet that mixes dried cherries with hints of shaved cedar and worn leather. This flows across the palate with an opulent wave of creamy textural bubbles that gives way to pretty cherry-berry fruits and sweet spice. It finishes remarkably fresh, leaving rosy inner florals and hints of wild blueberry.”
