After gaining work experience at the German company Siemens, he was struck by the calling. He left his position as a manager to follow his dream of producing wines that touch the soul. No previous experience or family land, everything had to be created from scratch. From day one it was that of organic farming and natural winemaking. The adventure began in 2008 and the first wine, “Notti Stellate” Etna Rosso, was bottled in 2010 from the first company vineyard located in Contrada Galfina in Linguaglossa. Since then the company has grown by acquiring additional land and has developed into a complex reality always maintaining an artisanal and sustainable approach guided by strong ethics.
The firm belief is a primarily humanistic conception: promoting responsibility towards the environment, the community, customers and the future. Today Davide has created a solid team with a common goal: respect the land, respect each other and produce happiness :-) To allow friends and customers to experience this magical world of the so-called natural wine in the highest active volcano in Europe, tourist activities have been developed to benefit from the multiple influences and energies of the people we welcome every day in the vineyards of Etna, in our wine-farm Notti Stellate and in our villa BeFelice in Acicastello
We respect the long tradition of agriculture on Etna. We follow the phases of the moon to guide our work. We grow carefully and with a very low use of only copper and sulfur, most of our work is done manually. We ferment the grapes with our own indigenous yeasts and we follow the Vinnatur specification which provides for a maximum of 40mg/tot of sulphites on white wines and 30mg/tot on reds and only if necessary, the same goes for filtration this is the only 2 winemaking practices that could be used in our wines. Come and join us because every season brings pleasant activities and help is always needed

Our experience at Etnella was by far the highlight of our trip to Sicily. We enjoyed every moment of our stay and hope to return again next summer! The botanical tour was very interesting and educational, plus we picked out fresh produce from the gardens for our wonderful dinner cooked by chef Carla. Davide’s wine pairings were also fantastic. Some of the best wines I’ve had all year! Both Davide’s and Carla’s hospitality made us feel right at home and we feel truly grateful to have had such a unique and special experience.

Davide’s place and his wine is pure magic! We had the best 24 hours at his farm, where we felt truly welcome. Carla made the most amazing dinner, and Davide provided great wine and a wonderful atmosphere. All we can say is: try it when in Sicily! We’ll definitely be back (especially if we find the man of our dreams and need to host a wedding).

Really beautiful experience staying on the property. The apartments are basic but comfortable and clean with everything you need. They have a beautiful sea view. Carla made the most amazing dinner with fresh ingredients from the garden. She has worked in Michelin star kitchens and it was one of the best meals I’ve ever had. Davide is friendly and welcoming and gave us lots of tips for the rest of our time in Sicily. The natural wines are delicious and are also served in some Michelin restaurants in New York City which means we can enjoy them when we get back home too. This is a special place and not to be missed!

We had an amazing trip across Sicily and our one night here might even have been the best! Despite some initial confusion around bookings, we stayed overnight on site with a modern, clean and comfortable lodging. The environs was stunning with incredible views of distant cities/seas and dinner al fresco right beneath Mt Etna. We had a natural wine tasting and a world-class home cooked meal from the gardens. Incredible food, wine, company and scenery. The sunrise was otherworldly and we bought a bottle of natural wine to take for the road at our departure. Accommodation, multi-course dinner and a generous wine tasting came to 250e for the two of us. Fantastic experience and big thank you to our hosts!
