The 2006 Majora combines Nero d’Avola, Syrah, Tannat and Petit Verdot, all from densely planted vineyards in Pachino. The varieties are vinified separately and then undergo malolactic fermentation and aging in French oak. The 2006 Majora is a deep, dark wine endowed with notable concentration in its blueberry and blackberry jam, leather, spices and licorice. Made in an opulent, full-throttle style, the Majora impresses for its depth and intensity. This is the most extroverted, full-throttle and internationally-styled of the Benanti wines. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022.
Lamoremio that is already a touch forward and probably not built for the long haul. Still, it should drink beautifully for at least a few years. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2016. Benanti is a reference-point producer for beautiful wines from the Etna and Pachino, two of Sicily’s most privileged spots. It’s pretty hard to go wrong with any of these new releases.
