Calderara Sottana is a single vineyard wine produced only from vineyards between 50-100 years old with some of the stoniest soils found on Mt Etna. This blend of local varieties, Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Capuccio, is wonderfully complex and ethereal. It is possessive of delicious depth of fruit, captivating savoury mineral nuances and a charming rugged wildness – this is pure Etna Rosso.

Vinous
Bright deep red. Flinty floral nuances complement red cherry and herbal notes on the enticing nose. Bright, juicy and round on entry, then showcases a stiff tannic spine and building alcohol-derived warmth with red cherry nectar and smoky flavors lingering nicely. Repeating, vibrant red cherry and sweet spice notes add complexity on the close. Currently lacks a little balance: I would have scored this higher if it didn’t taste so hot (the bottle’s label declares 14.5% alcohol).Ian d'Agata1st August 2019
