Etna Bianco DOC 2023 (750 ml.) Cottanera
Etna Bianco by Cottanera is a pure Carricante, a wine with a rare freshness. From vines of about 30 years of age located in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia at about 700 meters above sea level. It is cold macerated for about 24 hours and follows a fermentation in steel for about 20-25 days. It is always refined in steel on the yeasts for about 6 months. It presents citrus notes of lemon and cedar that intertwine with orange blossom and jasmine and on the palate it is full-bodied but well supported by the acidity that gives the tasting a rare freshness with a long finish. Excellent with fish-based dishes.

To be included among those that are today the most important, even by extension, companies in the Etna area, that of Cottanera is a wine-making reality that was born as a hazelnut grove in the early 1960s, thanks to the work of the grandfather of the current owners, Francesco Cambria.

It is in that period, in fact, that all the plots have seen a progressive modernization, with the entry of varieties including international ones, and it is also in that period that the company park has reached the current one hundred hectares, of which about 65 are currently planted with vineyards.
Among the rows, the autochthonous carricante, nerello mascalese and inzolia grapes grow alongside syrah, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot grapes. Vines grown in full respect of nature, environment and ecosystem, produce valuable, pure, rich and concentrated fruits in all their organoleptic nuances. Bunches that in the cellar are interpreted in the sign of those that are the most ancient local traditions, enhancing and enhancing all that the territory and the season have created.
Those that are produced today by the Castiglione di Sicilia winery are wines with a strong modern character, at the same time as fascinating as they are elegant in revealing their unmistakable Sicilian soul.
