Description
WINEMAKER: Davide Bentivegna
REGION: Sicily, IT
VARIETAL: Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio
VITICULTURE: Organic/Biodynamic
Kaos, or chaos, is the inevitability that every year the wine will turn out differently than the last thanks to the varying elements of nature and no addition in winemaking. Some say it is the most appropriate name for the winemaker (but they lie). Vines up to 70 years old, 750ml above sea level. Spontaneous fermentation, 3 separate harvests: early harvest, a ripe and a late one with different maceration times, partial whole bunch used. Six months in chestnut barrels before time in concrete.
Trained in the caverns of Etna by experienced local growers and winemakers, Davide gradually evolved to has his own style, with his understanding of the terroir throughout years of working in the vineyards and in the cellar. Since the first vintage made in 2010, the core of his philosophy of winemaking reflects in the bottle: the traditional winemaking of Etna, the diversity of volcanic soil, thanks to the stratification of lava, as well as the microclimates of different contradas (cru).

Come curious. Leave with a new favourite.
We don’t tell you what to drink. You don’t need to know your varietals, regions or vintages, and you certainly don’t need to pretend you do. Tell us what you like, hate, what you’ve tried or curious about — we’ll take it from there. Sometimes the best bottle is the one you didn’t know you wanted.
