Cottanera Società Agricola a Responsabilità Limitata
Castiglione di Sicilia · Province of Catania · Sicilia
On Etna's volcanic slopes near Castiglione di Sicilia, Cottanera tends vineyards strewn with distinctive lava-stone cairns—landmarks that map the mountain's geological temperament. Their Sicilia DOC wines draw mineral intensity directly from the volcano: Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, Syrah, and Merlot express the terrain's raw character, then gain refinement through careful cellar work. Visitors encounter both wild altitude and winemaking precision. Cottanera's grapes achieve the denomination's required 12% alcohol and distinctive volcanic character.
