2013 Biancodicaselle
| Grapes | Carricante |
| Colour | White |
| Origin | Italy, Sicily |
| ABV | 12% |
Bright yellow in colour, the Biancodicaselle displays delicious ripe red and green apple aromas with a hint of ripe pear. On the palate the intense fruit is complimented by a slightly rich mouthful and balanced by a refreshing acidity and a bright aromatic persistance on the finish. L&S (Apr 2015)

An Etna white with sliced-pear, apple and chalk aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, round and rich with dried pineapple and hints of minerals. Firm structure and freshness. Beautiful pure carricante. Drink now. Rating: 92 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Nov 2015)
The Biancadicaselle is produced with Carricante grapes that grow in 35-50 year old vineyards on the southern and eastern slopes of Etna at about 800 -900 metres above sea level. Due to the substantial difference in diurnal temperatures, the grapes are late ripening and are harvested in the last fortnight of October. After being gently pressed, the fruit is slowly fermented in stainless steels vats at 18-20°C and left to mature in the same vats before 2 months of bottle refinement.Winemaker's notes (Apr 2015)
Benanti
Giuseppe Benanti Jr re-established the Benanti winery on the slopes of Mount Etna in the late 1980's. The family were gifted land there back in the 1730's by a grateful King Victor Amedeos II, but the business had fizzled out in the mid-20th Century. The family now own 14ha of vineyard in carefully selected sites on the mountain, and manage a further 10ha, and have assembled a healthy reputation for some of Sicily's finest wines.
