KERIN O'KEEFE 95 POINTS - The 2021 Benanti Contrada Dafara Galluzzo is gorgeous. Made with 100% Nerello Mascalese from the Northern slope, it’s enticingly fragrant, with aromas of wild rose, lavender, eucalyptus and citrus. Elegantly structured and loaded with energy, the focused, delicious palate presents red cherry, blood orange, licorice and saline, almost salty mineral notes. Drink 2025–2033.

VINOUS 94 POINTS - "The 2021 Etna Rosso Contrada Dafara Galluzzo is exotic and floral, with a burst of ashen stone and dusty rose giving way to dried black cherries. Silky and soothing, it flows across the palate with a pure blend of red and blue fruits propelled by juicy acidity. This finishes structured and long yet perfumed, leaving violet and lavender tones to fade over a bed of fine-grained tannins. The Dafara Galluzzo is a real charmer, yet further cellaring is recommended." Drink from 2025. - Eric Guido
