The Alessandro family have 35 hectares of vineyards in and around Camporeale in North West Sicily, 400 meters above sea level. It is in this fertile clay and limestone-based soil that the family has cultivated native grape varieties, such as Catarratto and Grillo. All work in the vineyard is done by hand, following organic farming principles.
Entrancing and persuasive in its aromatic allure, Benedè emerges as a distinguished white wine crafted from the venerable Catarratto grapes—a variety deeply rooted in Sicily's viticultural heritage, now standing proudly as one of the island's foremost contributors to its acclaimed array of white wines.
Bright straw yellow with green reflections. Aromas of ripe stone fruit and orange on the nose, with a fine sage and rosemary note in the background. Fruity and lively on the palate, fresh and juicy, medium length finish.
