Etna Bianco DOC 2023 (750 ml.) Tenute Mannino
The Etna Bianco from Tenute Mannino is a cuvée of Carricante and Catarratto. Grapes are harvested from vines aged 10-25 years located on the slopes of the volcano in Contrada Sciarelle on the South-East side of Etna, at an altitude of 400–450 m.s.l.m. This blend fully expresses all the strength and charm of Etna. Manual harvesting and aging in steel. The wine has a straw yellow color with slight golden reflections and a beautiful brightness. It expresses elegant notes of citrus but also of flint, butter, and ginger. On the palate, the mineral component stands out, but it is well balanced in all its components. A white wine that is extremely easy to drink. It pairs well with rich fish-based dishes, salads, and couscous. To be tried with delicate grilled fish served with salmoriglio.

Tenute Mannino
At the foot of Mount Etna, in the heart of the Catania Plain, lies the Tenuta del Gelso, a place where tradition meets vision, and where wine tells a centuries-old story. Since the early years of the 19th century, this manor house has been much more than a farm: it has been a true laboratory of winemaking innovation, led by the foresight of Baron Franz Mannino, who brought the family wines to Europe and North America, receiving accolades at prestigious world exhibitions.
During the grape harvest, the ancient wine cellar – one of the oldest in the area – came alive in a choral celebration that involved the entire community: children, friends, neighbors. It was an explosion of aromas, lights, and colors that celebrated the cycle of nature and the unbreakable bond with the land.
Today, carrying on the legacy of this noble story is Giorgio Mannino, the sixth generation of a family that has managed to combine ancient values with a modern entrepreneurial spirit. Following the impetus given by his father Giuseppe, a central figure in the revival of the Etna DOC denomination, the estate is now a dynamic, solid agricultural and winemaking reality, projected towards the future while remaining firmly anchored to its historical identity.
The wines of the Tenute Mannino of Plachi are born from a unique terroir, sculpted by the power of the volcano, an ideal Mediterranean climate, and a knowledge passed down with respect and innovation. The 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, witnessing the family’s patronage spirit.
Vino45 is proud to bring to its customers' tables the wines signed by Tenute Mannino, an authentic expression of a noble, generous, and contemporary Etna, where every glass is a journey through time and passion.

THE ESTATE
The estate, Tenuta del Gelso, has been an extraordinary and innovative winemaking laboratory since the early 19th century. From here, in the Plain of Catania, Baron Franz Mannino introduced his wine to Europe and North America, also receiving prestigious recognition at various world exhibitions. During the harvest season, the palmento, one of the oldest in the area, represented the place of a true family celebration attended by all the inhabitants of the House: from joyful children to friends and neighbors who flocked to Tenuta del Gelso to immerse themselves in a profusion of scents, lights, and colors until late at night. Giuseppe Mannino breathed new life into the family activities and the Etna Doc denomination, building an active and dynamic business reality. Now in its sixth generation, it is Giorgio, the son, who leads a solid and established winemaking and agricultural enterprise. A company that preserves ancient traditions but is also capable of looking to the future and anticipating the times. The parlors of the Villa still echo with the conversations held by its inhabitants with Giovanni Verga or Ettore Majorana, tangible testimonies of the reputation of Tenute Mannino as a family of patrons.
