A Story of Passion and Tradition

Founded in 1988 by Giuseppe Benanti, the Benanti winery has roots that run deep in Etna’s wine history. Located on the slopes of Europe’s highest active volcano, the winery benefits from a unique terroir, characterized by mineral-rich volcanic soils and an ideal microclimate for growing grapes.

Benanti’s vineyards extend over several districts of Etna, each with its own peculiarities and characteristics. This diversity allows the winery to produce a range of wines that best express the native varieties and the terroir in which they are born.
