Cottanera Etna Bianco Contrada Calderara 2016
The Contrada Calderara, a white Etna DOC decidedly sublime. La Cantina Cottanera decided to enhance the expressive uniqueness of its vineyards through a challenging project that manages to translate into wine the voice of the earth of his five districts.
The result is an expressive and solar Carricante, with the vivacity of citrus and floral notes of broom flowers and lemon, crossed by a savory vein iodine shades from almost electric capers and Mediterranean herbs.

Colour

Straw yellow.

Bouquet

The nose is presented with a rare finesse, dense white melon aromas, peach, geranium and something mineral, with oxygen is enriched with slight hints of wood that complement it.

Flavour

Also on the palate retains the olfactory promises: it is round, fresh, soft but at the same time pointed with a perfect acid-ore, a substantial and long structure, a slight, pleasant wake just bitter that gives it a further boost.

Pairing

Starters
Pasta
Fish
Shellfish
Cheese
