Additional Info:
Attia Bianco comes from Etnella, a natural wine project on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna led by Davide Bentivegna. The grapes are sourced from old vines planted in terraced, volcanic soils at around 750 m altitude, trained in traditional alberello (bush) style. The wine is made with short skin contact (~1-4 days) before pressing; fermentation occurs spontaneously on indigenous yeasts and it spends several months aging in steel on lees. This minimal-intervention approach highlights fresh fruit, subtle texture from the light maceration, and the savory, saline influence of Etna’s volcanic terroir.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
