  • Jun 2012 - Present

  Benanti is an exclusive winery located on the slopes of the Etna Volcano in Sicily and is among the most prominent producers of fine wines in Italy. Wine has been produced by our family for several generations, mostly for private consumption, until Giuseppe Benanti decided to establish a professional winery in 1988, with the aim of spreading the culture of fine Etna wines among a community of Italian and international wine lovers alike. We describe ourselves as an indigenous winery with an international mindset. Local family, local people, local grape varietals, local pride, local values… and a circle of discerning customers which spans the globe. A true passion, to be shared by all those who desire to explore the world of Etna and its fine, elegant wines. The winery is currently run by twin brothers Antonio and Salvino, two passionate and international-minded Sicilians who have returned home to follow their father Giuseppe’s footsteps after spending several years abroad in Switzerland and the UK, with the aim of taking the winery to new heights. In recognition of the quality of our work, we were named Italian Winery of the Year by the Gambero Rosso wine guide in 2007 and Top-100 Winery of the Year by Wine & Spirtits magazine of the USA in 2012. Over time, we have also received outstanding reviews by publications such as Wine Spectator (USA), Wine Enthusiast (USA) and Decanter (UK). Our wines can be enjoyed at selected restaurants and wine boutiques in Italy, the USA, Canada, the UK, France, Japan, Singapore, China, Korea, Australia and Scandinavia. Show less
