The Etna Bianco DOC from La Gelsomina captures the essence of Etna's volcanic terroir. Made primarily from Carricante and Catarratto grapes, this white wine is a tribute to the richness and diversity of Sicilian soil. On the nose, the wine releases a bouquet of white flowers, citrus, and a slight mineral note. On the palate, it is fresh and well-balanced, with a structure that promises good aging potential. Ideal for savoring on a summer evening at sunset, it pairs beautifully with seafood dishes or soft cheeses.

La Gelsomina was born on the edge of the Santa Venera stream where Piedimonte Etneo gives way to the County of Mascali, in the small hamlet of Presa located on Etna. From the clayey and lava soil, from the "Gghiara" as the Etna people pronounce it, there are 15 hectares of vineyards, olive groves and orchards that take on the shape of an amphitheater. Here the autochthonous varieties of the volcano Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio, Carricante and Catarratto are grown, as well as Moscato dell'Etna. Thanks to careful vinification, quality wines with a strong character are obtained, capable of surprising for their finesse and delicacy.
