Etna DOC Spumante Brut 2015 Cottanera
The Etna DOC Spumante Brut 2015 by Cottanera is a refined Metodo Classico sparkling wine that showcases the elegance and versatility of Nerello Mascalese grown on the northern slopes of Mount Etna, in Contrada Cottanera at 750 meters above sea level.
In the glass, it shines with a bright straw-yellow hue and a fine, persistent perlage. The bouquet reveals delicate floral aromas of white blossoms, intertwined with citrus notes and the signature volcanic minerality that defines Etna’s terroir.
On the palate, it’s fresh, vibrant, and complex, offering a perfect balance between structure and finesse. The creamy texture and lively acidity lead to a long, mineral-driven finish.
The vinification involves gentle destemming and pressing, followed by cold maceration and partial fermentation (25%) in small French oak barrels, where the wine remains for 8 months on the lees, with partial malolactic fermentation. The rest ferments in stainless steel at a controlled temperature (17°C). After the secondary fermentation, the wine ages for 40 months on the lees and an additional 12 months in bottle, achieving remarkable depth and aromatic complexity.
Cottanera’s Etna DOC Spumante Brut is a sophisticated and mineral-driven sparkling wine, combining elegance, freshness, and volcanic intensity. Ideal as an elegant aperitif or paired with seafood, shellfish, or fresh cheeses.
