Founded in 2008 by visionary Davide Bentivegna, Etnella produces wines that are deeply terroir driven. He works vines, scattered across Etna’s eastern slopes.
Davide grows 4 hectares of vines for his Etnella winery, alongside olives with which he makes three "crus' of EVOO, and fruit trees for his famous jams.
old vine field blend from the black rocky volcanic soil of Mt Etna, just a touch of skin contact - making this a very clean orange wine.
