Description and technical sheet
Cottanera's 2025 Rosato is made from 100% Nerello Mascalese grown in Castiglione di Sicilia, in the Cottanera and Diciassettesalme districts. The roughly 10-year-old vines stand at 720-750 metres above sea level on volcanic-alluvial and volcanic-clay soils, a setting that gives the wine pronounced savouriness and a precise profile.
An Etna rosé built on freshness and depth
The colour recalls onion skin. The nose shows iris, wisteria and rose, lifted by the freshness of aromatic herbs. The palate is rich and deep yet remains taut and savoury, with a personality clearly linked to its volcanic origin.
From cryomaceration to lees ageing
After hand harvesting into crates, the grapes undergo cryomaceration in the press below 4 °C for 4-5 hours, followed by cold maceration and static settling. Fermentation takes place at 17 °C for around 20 days. The wine then ages in stainless-steel vats on the lees with frequent stirring.
Food pairing
It pairs particularly well with tempura, risotto and semi-aged cheeses. Fish and vegetable tempura, pumpkin risotto and potato tart are especially well suited to its freshness and savoury character.
