ACHIEVEMENTS: Pietra Marina at Ian D'Agata's Grand Tasting

Wednesday, April 9, 2025

We are pleased to share Ian D'Agata's (https://iandagatawine.com/team/) feedback from “Grand Tasting: dal Nord al Sud, i più grandi vini bianchi d’Italia”  an extraordinary event dedicated to Italy's most iconic and internationally-acclaimed white wines recently held at Vinitaly – the leading Italian wine trade fair.  

“The masterclasses at Vinitaly are always some of the fair’s most exciting and interesting moments...
Yesterday’s masterclass was really well liked and I’m still getting thank-you messages, but the credit must go to all the wonderful wines and wineries being featured that do such an amazing job.…”
- Ian D’Agata

This event has provided an opportunity for all producers involved to exchange their thoughts and insights and has served as a platform to showcase several small-production enological gems. 
Among these gems is our very own Benanti Pietra Marina Etna DOC Bianco Superiore 2020, made from Etna's autochthonous Carricante grapes grown in the cradle of our Appellation's finest white wine region, Milo, showcasing its authentic volcanic identity and  received unanimous praise from the audience.
