Description
Calderara Sottana features Carricante grapes from old and young vines, for Carricante is a rare commodity in a D.O.C. overwhelmingly devoted to reds, rarer still on Etna’s northern slopes. In fact, Carricante vineyards answer for only 4% of the appellation. The wine is barrel fermented and aged in large oak barrels. This is a late-blooming wine of unusual complexity and great longevity, which will reward you for your patience with a rare, noble beauty.
100% Carricante
The estate is located on the northern slopes of the Etna volcano, with vineyards between the village of Solicchiata and the town of Randazzo, the area historically recognized as the finest in the appellation for fine red wines.
