Etna Rosato 2019 Cottanera
Etna Rosato 2019 is a Sicilian rosé wine produced by the Cottanera winery. It is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes from vineyards about 10 years old that come from the districts of Cottanera and Diciassettesalme in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia. The vines grow at an altitude between 720 and 750 m which guarantees great freshness and elegance conferred by the considerable temperature range between day and night. We are located on the northern slope of Etna, in an area with a lava-alluvial and lava-clay composition that gives the wine those characteristic mineral scents. This rosé ferments at a controlled temperature of 17°C for about 20 days and matures on the lees in steel vats. It shows a refined onion skin pink colour and expresses on the nose floral notes of iris, wisteria and roses, accompanied by the freshness of aromatic herbs. The palate is rich and deep, with a nice savoury finish.
