Nerello Cappuccio – Nerello Mascalese is a blend of two very Sicilian grape varieties. Together they are the mainstay of quality red wines from Sicily`s east coast and have long been a popular choice for wines made under the Sicilia DOC. The pair are in fact two mutations of a single variety, although the original archetypal Nerello is rarely referred to in ampelographic literature.

Grapes selected from vineyards located on the North, South-east, and South-west slopes of Mount Etna.

Nerello Mascalese (c.80-85%), Etna’s noble red grape variety, and Nerello Cappuccio (c.15-20%) are grown on sandy, volcanic soils that are rich in minerals, with sub-acid reaction. Vines range in age from 10 to 60 years and are trained in both “alberello” (head-trained bush) and spurred cordon systems, with densities of 6,000 to 8,000 vine stocks per hectare and yields of 7,000 to 8,000 kg/ha. Vineyards vary in elevation from 450 m to 900 m  a.s.l. The climate type ranges from high hill to mountain, with a humid and rainy cooler season, high ventilation, luminosity, and a significant diurnal range.

Tasting Notes: Balanced, dry, medium-bodied, mineral with a pleasant acidity
and saline notes, red fruit aromas, persistent. 

Food Pairing: A very versatile wine to be paired with white and red meats and cheeses but also with fish.

Benanti is a wine producer located on the slopes of Mount Etna on the Italian island of Sicily. It was established in the late 19th century and has been making wine from indigenous grape varieties in the Etnean terroir since. Today, Benanti has expanded to encompass vineyards in Pachino on the southernmost tip of Sicily and in Pantelleria, just off Sicily`s western coastline.
