Description

Contrada Calderara, a decidedly sublime Etna Bianco DOC, aims to enhance the expressive uniqueness of the company's vineyards through a challenging project that succeeds in translating the five company's terroir into wine.
The result is an expressive and warm Carricante, with the liveliness of citrus fruits and the floral notes of broom and lemon blossom, traversed by an almost electric sapid tasty with the iodised nuances of caper and Mediterranean herbs.

Details

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
