Etnella - Attia Rosso 2025

Attia Rosso 2025 is a natural wine crafted by Etnella, in the Sicily region in Italy. This red wine is made with Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio grapes. Etnella is Davide Bentivegna, working alone on the north-eastern slope of Mount Etna from the farm at Notti Stellate. He is Sicilian but came to wine late, leaving a corporate job in Milan and learning first from an elderly neighbour who had a single vineyard, then from Stefano Bellotti, Aldo Viola and Frank Cornelissen. His plots are spread across several contrade between 600 and 1,000 metres, the vines trained low in the local alberello bush style that rules out any machine, with the old dry-stone terraces rebuilt and olive and fruit trees planted among the rows. Each label carries a red dot and a number, and the number is the altitude of that plot. Attia Rosso is Nerello Mascalese with Nerello Cappuccio from vines of 40 to 60 years at 750 metres, four days on skins, then steel and cement. On this new label of Attia, there are familiar faces of Sicily, including Alessandro Viola, Aldo Viola, Frank Cornelissen, Vino di Anna and more...
