WINE DESCRIPTION

Cottanera Grammonte is a premium red wine produced by Cottanera, a renowned winery located in the Etna appellation of Sicily. The wine is made from grapes grown on the slopes of Mount Etna, an active volcano. The vineyard's unique terroir, characterized by volcanic soil and high altitude, gives the wine its distinctive flavor profile. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is a full-bodied, complex and smooth red which shows the potential of Merlot grape in this southern terroir.
