Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana DOC

An Etna Rosso that sounds more like Burgundy than Sicily: light in color, slender in build, and full of tension. The Calderara Sottana from Bella-Colonna comes from one of the most famous contrade on the northern slope of Mount Etna.

The vines of the Nerello Mascalese variety grow there on black lava rock. The winery works organically, and the wine is certified as organic. The soil of volcanic origin noticeably shapes the character, and the careful aging preserves the clarity of the fruit.

On the nose, red cherry, raspberry, and pomegranate appear, along with floral scent, fine herbal spice, and a distinct volcanic minerality. On the palate, it feels fresh and precise, the acidity is fine, and the tannins are silky. The finish remains long and mineral.

Recommendation: Serve it at 16 to 18 °C, preferably in a large Burgundy glass. It pairs well with duck breast, rabbit with herbs, pasta with mushrooms, or mature Pecorino.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks

Row above the wines with the “Our picks” button open and three Super Tuscans

You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.

Row above the wines with Filters, Our picks, Goes with, Wine style, Bought before and Sort by; the "Our picks" button is open with "Super Tuscan" selected, next to it Tignanello, Le Volte and Le Serre Nuove

  • Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
  • Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
  • One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
  • Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
  • Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
  • Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
