Classic Etna Rosso from Nerello Mascalese with a small proportion of Nerello Cappuccio – grown at an altitude of over 700 metres in various contrade on the northern flank of the volcano, where ash, lava rock and the alpine microclimate form an unmistakable style. Medium ruby red in colour with a garnet-red rim. On the nose, fragrant sour cherry, redcurrant, humming berry, a metallic hint, floral notes and subtle spice. Precise on the palate, with cool fruit, lively acidity and fine-grained tannins. The ageing in used wooden barrels and cement tanks maintains the balance and expression of origin. An authentic, elegant Etna Rosso with good drinkability. SUPERIORE.DE

"Medium red; reductive-barrelled, ripe strawberries; sweetness, depth, pleasantly tart tannins, coffee, quite long." Merum

"Here, too, a blend from 5 contrade. Attractive bouquet with hints of Pinot, finely outlined red fruit and earthy-mineral notes. Sweet and tart fruits alternate on the delicate palate, supported by a good and lively acidity structure, shows a lot of grip." Weinwisser

"The 2022 Etna Rosso opens with a woody mix of savoury herbs, underbrush and red liquorice. There's a lovely inner sweetness here, with crisp red and blue fruits swirling over a stream of savoury acidity. The 2022 lingers but remains remarkably fresh, finishing on a tart blackberry note." Vinous

"Cottanera's Etna Rosso 2022 is deliciously lively and structured, with notes of ripe dark cherries and herbs, underlined by a pleasant spiciness that invites you to take another sip." Decanter

"The Cottanera 2022 Etna Rosso offers bright fruit flavours of redcurrants, cherries and pomegranate seeds. There is a nice acidity at the back of the wine, which contributes to the wine's firmness and length. This red Etna is approachable and ready to drink." Wine Advocate

"Attractive nose with notes of wet stones, smoked herbs, dried orange peel and ripe berries. Textured and refined, with a medium body and well-integrated tannins. Fresh and balanced and very attractive overall." James Suckling
