Tasting Notes
The Barbazzlae Rosso is mostly Nerello Mascalese with small amount of other local varieties. This one our favourite's in-store as it shows brilliant depth and typicity of Mout Etna at such a reasonable price. Pinot Noir-esk with a real volcanic and almost charred undertone. Can't go past it really! - Chris L
After tasting a couple of brilliant wines from the slopes of Etna I decided to do some research and find a producer who would suit our existing portfolio. Questioning winemakers on who they thought were rising stars, their unanimous response was Cottanera Vineyard. Ownedby the Cambria family, the Cottanera Vineyards are planted on the southern slopes of Etna ataaltitude of 700metres.Theuniquelava-richsoilhas given life to the native varieties of Nerello, Mascalese, Cappuccio, Nero d "avola and Inzolia. We are truly excitedby the Nerello Mascalese based reds and have shipped three different wines which deliver great character and value. - Importer Note
