Proud single-vineyard Sicilian in a small edition made from 100% Carricante. Fine bouquet of citrus fruits and apricots. Wonderfully juicy fruit on the palate paired with good structure, balanced acidity, fine minerality and appealing length. SUPERIORE.DE

"Shows beautiful fruit on the nose with young stone fruit, light peach, sage, sweet herbs and mineral notes. In the mouth with a soft, almost silky texture, citrus fruit and herbs, rather round with balanced acidity." Weinwisser

"The 2022 Etna Bianco Calderara opens slowly with a nuanced blend of young peaches, grated sage, stone dust and sweet spices, keeping the glass constantly moving. The medium body is silky smooth, revealing mineral fruit lifted by a hint of sour citrus. The 2022 finishes long and youthfully tense. A tart finish of lime and savoury herbs rounds off the whole." Vinous

"A delicious Etna Bianco with juicy and savoury citrus fruits, with a salty core. Notes of orange and lemon peel, apples and white flowers, with a hint of wood." Decanter

"The Cottanera 2022 Etna Bianco Contrada Calderara shows a glossy off-gold color with aromas of citrus cream, blanched almond and minty apple. Those rich fruit flavors are framed by dusty mineral tones of sea salt and volcanic ash. Hot vintage conditions tend to underline the lemony quality of this mid-weight white, adding preserved lemon with a hint of exotic spice on the close." Wine Advocate
