Cottanera

Brillantes Strohgelb. Aromen von Limettenschale, Kräutern und hellen Blüten. Saftig am Gaumen mit einer feinen Säureader; ein mittellanger, mineralischer Abgang rundet diesen wunderschönen Weißen vom Ätna ab. SUPERIORE.DE

Barbazzale - ein solider Nerello aus dem Hause Cottanera überzeugt mit komplexen Aromen von schwarzen Beeren und Mokka. Voll und harmonisch am Gaumen mit langem frischen Abgang. SUPERIORE.DE

Frischer Rosato, der nach dunklen Beeren und einem Hauch Lavendel duftet. Klare Frucht am Gaumen, mit eleganter Geschmeidigkeit und nicht zuletzt ansprechender Süffigkeit. SUPERIORE.DE

"Frische Rosenblütenaromatik, kompakter Bau mit gut eingebundener Säure, elegantes Finish." Vinum

"Cottanera does a terrific job with its entry-level wines in this newly released vintage. The 2017 Etna Rosato (made with 100% Nerello Mascalese) is a lovely wine with much appeal and an accessible, versatile style. The wine opens to a pale pink color with bright luminosity. It ends with vibrant crispness. Some 17,500 bottles were made." Robert Parker

"A tangy and fruity rosato that is also fresh and lively. Dried peaches, cherries and pumice undertones. Full body and bright acidity. Pretty as always." James Suckling

Eleganter, exotisch anmutender Etna Bianco mit herrlich weiten Aromen von tropischen Früchten, Blüten und Pfirsich. Schön saftig, ausgewogen und lang im Geschmack. SUPERIORE.DE

"This shows some real precision and purity on the nose with grapefruit and bright, pomelo notes and some squeezed lemons. The palate shows lots of intense and textured fruit, which dances around some good acidity. Flavorful, oily finish." James Suckling

"The Cambria family has produced a very bright and vibrant expression of Carricante. The 2017 Etna Bianco shows bright floral intensity with sweet tropical fruit and apricot. The wine is a tad shorter and thinner in this hot vintage. Drink this Etna Bianco within the next 5 years." Robert Parker

Cottaneras Nerello vom Ätna bietet ein wunderbares Bouquet aus dunklen Fruchtaromen und kubanischem Zigarrentabak dar. Am Gaumen ausgewogen, elegant, stoffig und frisch. Stilistisch und qualitativ sehr gelungen. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep red; lighter in color than the Barbazzale Rosso. Captivating aromas of black cherry, red berries, fresh herbs and flowers. Plush and impressively concentrated; harmonious acidity gives good tension and definition to the midpalate. Finishes graceful and long with silky tannins. Lovely Etna Rosso." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"Raspberry-fruit-driven nose with a fine spicy edge. No obvious oak and only a hint of mint on the palate intertwined with raspberry fruit. Elegant palate weight and firm, firm tannins that stick out for the moment, but this is very promising." Jancis Robinson

Stolzer Einzellagen-Sizilianer in Kleinauflage aus 100% Carricante. Feines Bouquet nach Zitrusfrüchten und Aprikosen. Am Gaumen eine herrlich saftige Frucht gepaart mit guter Struktur, ausgewogener Säure, feiner Mineralik und ansprechender Länge. SUPERIORE.DE

"Funkelndes Gelbgrün. Eröffnet mit stahlig-mineralischen Noten, dann viel Grapefruit und Bergamotte. Saftig und salzig am Gaumen, entfaltet sich im hinteren Bereich mit cremigen Nuancen." Falstaff

"The single-vineyard 2016 Etna Bianco Contrada Calderara is indeed characterized by a more robust and structured flavor profile. The bouquet offers stone fruit, pineapple and Golden Delicious apple. This white wine also offers a broad and lasting sense of texture and volume. The vines are 40 years old and more, and the wine is partially oak fermented. Some 5,600 bottles were produced." Robert Parker

Sonnenverwöhnter Syrah vom Ätna, im Duft nach dunklen Beeren und angenehmer Würznote. Der Geschmack mineralisch und von komplexer Struktur. Ein eleganter Wein mit harmonischem Finale. SUPERIORE.DE

Wunderschöner Einzellagen-Nerello von der Nordseite des Etna. Im Bouquet Kirsche und kleine Walderdbeere. Sehr klar akzentuierter und frischer Geschmack, Säure und Tannin in perfekter Harmonie und gut eingebunden. Langer Abgang mit einer beeindruckenden Eleganz und Frische. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright red. Flinty red berries and botanical herbs on the nose. Slightly riper red berries in the mouth, at once elegant but also currently very tannic. Turns very floral on the long finish. This will age well. Strikes me as one of the more precise, refined versions of this wine by Cottanera. From 25 year old vines, this 100% Nerello Mascalse is aged in 20 hL oak barrels for 15 months." Ian d’Agata (vinous.com)

"Aromas of watermelon, plums and flowers follow through to a medium body with a solid core of fruit and a smoky and fruity finish. Delicious. Pure nerello mascalese." James Suckling

"Here's a very interesting new wine from the Cambria family of Cottanera. The 2014 Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo is a single-vineyard effort from one of the most celebrated cru sites on this northern side of the volcano. Feudo di Mezzo sees soils that have been broken down and eroded from ancient lava flows and is therefore fine and almost sandy in nature. This helps to establish elegance and finesse in the wine. The bouquet opens to wild blueberry and white cherry aromas with light dustings of ash and spice at the back." Robert Parker

Gerade mal um die 2.000 Flaschen werden jedes Jahr von dieser edlen Riserva gefüllt. Mit einer Aromenfülle aus schwarzen Beeren, balsamischen Nuancen und Gewürzen sowie dem ausladenden Geschmack - voll und klar - bringt dieser große Wein Finesse, Eleganz und Weichheit vortrefflich zusammen. SUPERIORE.DE

"Cottanera is showing an ever-increasing learning curve, and I think this is very evident in this Riserva. This is the second edition of a limited-edition (only 1,982 bottles were produced), single-vineyard, top-shelf wine. The 2012 Etna Rosso Riserva Zottorinoto puts Cottanera's winemaking moxie to the test. The results show depth, volume and power, with bold aromatic trimmings of blackberry, crème de cassis, balsam herb and dried mint. But the real personality of the bouquet is driven by those distinctive mineral notes of ash and brimstone. In the mouth, the wine is alive and succulent. This is an excellent, cellar-worthy red wine from Etna." Robert Parker
