Culturing vines in the black lands of Etna is a tradition, an ancient heritage which Guglielmo and Enzo Cambria have developed with Cottanera, an enterprise dedicated to excellence. Volcanic lava has given life to a particular soil as extraordinary as the Cambria’s passion for quality wines. This passion has been transmitted to Guglielmo’s heirs: Mariangela, Francesco and Emanuele, who revitalised this wine-growing area. Sicilia Felix is a unique land where the creative energy of the Cambria family has laid the foundations for Cottanera, a company uniting tradition with innovation. Read more
