The 2003 Lamoremio is a blend of equal parts of Nero d’Avola, Nerello Mascalese, and Cabernet Sauvignon that spent 18 months in French oak. All of the Etna qualities that are also typical of the estate’s other wines are found here, but the presence of Cabernet Sauvignon adds an additional level of complexity and density. This sexy, voluptuous wine reveals layers of vibrant, dark fruit, sweet spices, smoke, earthiness and leather in a full-bodied, highly rewarding style. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2018. I can’t think of too many properties in Sicily, or Italy, for that matter, that turn out such a large number of outstanding wines. The family-run Benanti winery is located on the slopes of Mount Etna. These volcanic soils are the source for most of the grapes, although some of the Nero d’Avola comes from Pachino while the Zibibbo is grown on the island of Pantelleria. Readers should do whatever they can to taste these unique wines. Importer: JA-AR Imports, Ltd., Stellar Cellars, East Brunswick, NJ; tel. (732) 762-9524
