At the end of the 1800s, Giuseppe Benanti, the grandfather of Dr. Giuseppe Benanti, started making wine on his father's old farm on the slopes of Mount Etna in Viagrande, Catania. In 1988, Giuseppe Benanti revived this family passion by studying the Etnean soils known for great vineyards. He also explored specific clones of native vines and modern winemaking techniques to recreate ancient flavors. After five years, they produced wines with unique tastes, preserving old world flavors.

The wine is pale yellow with bright greenish tints. It has an intense and delicate nose with hints of apple. The taste is dry and mineral with pleasant acidity and salinity, persistent and harmonious. The aroma is smoky and spicy, like lemon drizzled over grilled chicken, with bright herbal notes of saffron and tarragon. The taste is defined by citrusy saltiness and continued herbaceousness, providing warmth and freshness.

This white wine is fresh and salty, creamy on the palate, with white blossom, lemon thyme, and beeswax accents. The flavors include poached pear, crushed almond, and Meyer lemon peel.
