Etna Bianco by Cottanera is a pure Carricante, a wine with a rare freshness. From vines of about 30 years of age located in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia at about 700 meters above sea level. It is cold macerated for about 24 hours and follows a fermentation in steel for about 20-25 days. It is always refined in steel on the yeasts for about 6 months. It presents citrus notes of lemon and cedar that intertwine with orange blossom and jasmine and on the palate it is full-bodied but well supported by the acidity that gives the tasting a rare freshness with a long finish. Excellent with fish-based dishes.

The manor estate, Tenuta del Gelso, has been an extraordinary and innovative winemaking laboratory since the early 19th century. From here, from the Catania plain, Baron Franz Mannino made his wine known in Europe and North America, also obtaining prestigious awards at various universal exhibitions. During the grape harvest, the palmento, one of the oldest in the area, was the site of a real family celebration in which all the inhabitants of the House took part: from joyful children to friends and neighbors who flocked to Tenuta del Gelso to immerse themselves in a riot of smells, lights and colors until late at night. Giuseppe Mannino has given new life to the family business and to the Etna Doc denomination, building an active and dynamic business reality. Now in its sixth generation, his son Giorgio is now leading a solid and established winemaking and agricultural business reality. A company that is the guardian of ancient traditions, but also capable of looking to the future and ahead of its time. The living rooms of the Villa still echo the conversations held by its inhabitants with Giovanni Verga or Ettore Majorana, tangible evidence of the reputation of Tenute Mannino as a family of patrons.
