Red Lapilli
Tenuta Gelso Bianco is an ancient family property, located on the hillside, facing the plain of Catania. For no less than three hundred years, wines and olives have been produced here. In 2006 we planted a rational vineyard with vines compatible with this terroir with the aim of producing a red wine of greater concentration than the elegant style of the other Etna reds. We get a very pleasant red with sensory elements reminiscent of ripe fruit and nuances of currants and spices. In the mouth it has a pleasant tannicity and persistence.
