The Story
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.

About Cottanera
Brand Story
The history of Cottanera began in 1962 with Francesco Cambria when he purchased 100 hectares (247 acres) of vineyards and hazelnut groves near his birthplace in Randazzo, at the foot at Mt. Etna. Francesco grew hazelnuts and initially sold his grapes to the local cooperative. In the late 1980’s, Francesco’s son Gugliemo decided to build a winery to produce his own wine instead of selling the grapes. Gugliemo was joined by his brother Enzo in the new venture and thus, in the mid-90’s the first wines labeled as “Cottanera” were born. The name Cottanera comes from an ancient village positioned alongside the family vineyards, along the banks of the river Alcantara. After the death of Guglielmo, Cottanera is now guided Enzo and Gugliemo’s children Mariangela, Francesco and Emanuele.
