Davide Bentivegna, farms a selection on tiny vineyards dotted around the north eastern
slopes of Mt Etna, form 600m to 900m altitude. All of Davides vines are close-planted on
volcanic soils at around 10,000 vines per hectare, and are farmed biodynamically. With
access to some pre phylloxera vines around 150 years old, and with a focus on high
altitude, light extraction, Davide makes some of the most incredible wines produced on
Mt Etna.
