Cottanera Etna Bianco - 2024 (750ml)
Importer's notes:Ā
A pure expression of Mt. Etna, the Etna Bianco is 100% Caricante, an ancient Sicilian white grape variety, thought to have been growing on the volcanic slopes of Mt. Etna for at least a thousand years. Planted at high altitudes on the steep slopes of Mt. Etna, the grapes ripen slowly and steadily throughout the long growing season. On the nose, the Etna Bianco is bursting with citrus notes of lemon and cedar with orange blossom and jasmine. A full-bodied palate is supported by the marked acidity typical of this variety, imparting freshness and a long finish.
91 points Robert ParkerĀ
The Cottanera 2024 Etna Bianco has a very fragrant bouquet with floral notes, lemon blossom and tropical fruits that give this wine a very playful and accessible character. It does not have the austerity and savory qualities that you sometimes find with this grape. Instead, it adopts those sweeter notes over a straight-shooting, medium-plus mouthfeel, making this wine ready to drink straight out of the gate.
