The Etna Bianco di Cottanera was produced from 100% Carricante grapes from the districts of Cottanera and Diciassettesalme in the municipality of Castglione di Sicilia (CT). The source vineyards are rooted in soils of volcanic-alluvial and volcanic-clayey matrix, at an altitude between 720 and 750 meters above sea level. The manual harvest was carried out with a yield of 60 quintals per hectare. The vinification included a 24-hour cold maceration phase that facilitated the extraction of primary aromas. Alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel at a temperature of 16° for a period of 20-25 days. The refinement took place for 6 months in contact with the lees.

ETNA BIANCO COTTANERA: TASTING

The Etna Bianco di Cottanera presents itself with a straw yellow color with greenish reflections. On the nose, it releases scents of white pulp fruit that blend with hints of orange blossom and jasmine, and citrus notes of cedar and lemon. On the palate, it is pleasant and mineral, supported by vibrant freshness and a herbaceous, citrusy finish. It pairs well with a delicious salad of cuttlefish, artichokes, and lemon.
