Cottanera Etna Bianco Contrada Calderara 2022
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.

Colour

Straw yellow.

Bouquet

Rare finesse, dense aromas of white melon, peach, geranium, and minerals. Thanks to oxygenation, the wine is enriched with slight hints of wood.

Flavour

Round, fresh, and soft but at the same time it has a perfect mineral-acidic balance, a substantial and long structure, and a slight, pleasant bitter note that further enhances its features.

Pairing

Fish
Shellfish
Cheese
