Cottanera

Etna volcanic wines: Nerello and Carricante from Terre Siciliane.

Cottanera operates in Terre Siciliane, the broad designation spanning Southern Italy's most dynamic wine region. The winery's portfolio centers on Etna's volcanic terroirs, where Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio anchor its red wines, while Carricante defines its whites. The Etna Feudo di Mezzo Rosso, a blend of Nerello Cappuccio and Nerello Mascalese, represents the winery's approach to the region's signature dark-fruited, mineral-driven reds. Its Etna Calderara Bianco, made from Carricante, showcases the pale, high-acid profile characteristic of Etna's white wines. A Metodo Classico Brut made from Nerello Mascalese demonstrates the grape's versatility beyond still wine. These wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast, Wine Advocate, Decanter, and Falstaff, positioning Cottanera within Sicily's contemporary wine conversation.
