Sentiero delle Gerle, Etna Bianco DOC by Mandrarossa, tells the story and nature of the north-eastern slope of Mount Etna. It originates in Linguaglossa, on mineral-rich volcanic soils, from Carricante grapes, a native Sicilian vine known for its freshness and minerality, harvested by hand in the second half of September. After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by ageing for around 13-15 months at a controlled temperature, allowing the wine to develop complexity while preserving its freshness. The result is a wine characterised by a beautiful straw yellow colour with golden reflections. The nose offers aromas of yellow fruits and white flowers. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rich, with balanced acidity and a harmonious finish. Ideal with fish dishes, first courses and seafood, and oysters.
Mandrarossa is a wine project that began in 1999 in the heart of south-western Sicily, in Menfi. It is the result of over twenty years of research into the terroir to identify the best combinations of grape varieties and territory. Founded by the Cantine Settesoli cooperative, Mandrarossa represents an innovative Sicily that breaks with stereotypes, with the aim of producing high-quality wines through sustainable practices and oenological experimentation. Located in the Puccia district south of Menfi, it is an example of architecture integrated into the landscape. The 700-square-metre building, spread over several levels and largely underground, houses a barrel cellar, two tasting rooms, a wine shop and a panoramic terrace overlooking the sea. Designed to blend in with its surroundings, the winery uses natural materials and colours that reflect the tones of the local area, such as wood and ochre pigments. The roof garden, covered with typical Mediterranean plants, acts as a natural insulator, helping to maintain ideal temperatures and humidity levels for ageing wines. The energy required is provided by a photovoltaic system, underlining the company's commitment to environmental sustainability. The company also stands out for its adoption of organic farming practices. Since 2021, it has been offering wines made from 100% organic grapes, sourced from vineyards cultivated without the use of synthetic products or GMOs, promoting biodiversity and the well-being of the ecosystem.
