"The team at Cottanera have really honed in their talents and experience when it comes to making white wine with the extremely popular Carricante grape. From a good vintage, their 2021 Etna Bianco is super zesty and fresh with all kinds of exciting citrusy and mineral notes. Winemaking sees cryomaceration and nine months of aging on the fine lees in stainless steel. This is such a fun, and easy wine to drink, especially if a summer sunset or beach panorama is on the schedule. Production is 40,000 bottles."

"A nose that's at first grassy and salty opens to reveal pink grapefruit, orange blossom, peach and even jasmine before a palate that's full and ripe with more stone fruit, citrus and flowers but an almost saltwater finish. ‡ Danielle Callegari"
