it is becoming ever more difficult to find monovarietal expressions of nerello cappuccio, but benanti has been making this wine steadily for many years, giving us the chance to know this grape better. the 2020 nerello cappuccio offers perspective on a variety that is mostly used in etna red blends. when presented on its own, you get a medium-dark garnet color with aromas of wild cherry and dried blackberry. this grape often offers a strong note of freshly milled white pepper, but you don't really get that in this hot vintage. the darkness and the ripeness of the fruit take over. but you do get volcanic notes of scorched earth and ash. have it with an eggplant pizza. some 6,000 bottles were made.
