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.

Tenute Mannino
On the slopes of Etna, in the heart of the Catania plain, stands Tenuta del Gelso, a place where tradition meets vision, and where wine tells a centuries-old story. Since the early 1800s, this manor house has been much more than a farm: a true laboratory of winemaking innovation, guided by the foresight of Baron Franz Mannino, who brought the family wines to Europe and North America, obtaining recognition at prestigious universal exhibitions.
During the grape harvest, the ancient palmento – one of the oldest in the area – came to life in a choral celebration that involved the entire community: children, friends, neighbors. It was an explosion of scents, lights and colors that celebrated the cycle of nature and the indissoluble bond with the land.
Today, Giorgio Mannino, the sixth generation of a family that has managed to combine ancient values and modern entrepreneurial spirit, is collecting the legacy of this noble history. Following the impetus given by his father Giuseppe, a central figure in the relaunch of the Etna DOC denomination, the estate is now a dynamic, solid and forward-looking agricultural and winemaking reality, while remaining firmly anchored to its historical identity.
The wines of Tenute Mannino di Plachi are born from a unique terroir, sculpted by the force of the volcano, an ideal Mediterranean climate and knowledge handed down with respect and innovation. Tenuta del Gelso is not just a place of production: it is a crossroads of culture and history, whose salons have hosted figures of the caliber of Giovanni Verga and Ettore Majorana, testifying to the patronage spirit of the family.
Vino45 is proud to bring Tenute Mannino wines to the tables of its customers, an authentic expression of a noble, generous and contemporary Etna, where every glass is a journey through time and passion.
