Sitta Maceración
Albariño • Orange Wine
"Ancestral tradition and avant-garde: an Albariño that revives skin maceration to offer a deep, structured, and radically different sensory experience."
The Untamed Side of Rías Baixas
**Sitta Maceración** is **Attis**' most experimental expression. It comes from old vineyards in the Salnés Valley with direct Atlantic influence. Its vinification breaks the mold: spontaneous fermentation and **15 days of skin contact**, followed by 6 months of aging on its lees. It is an unfiltered and unclarified wine, pure and unadorned, redefining what an Albariño can be.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is an Orange Wine?
It is a white wine that is made like a red wine, leaving the must in contact with the grape skins. This gives it its orange color and a unique tannic structure.
Is it a natural wine?
Yes, it falls under the philosophy of minimal intervention. Attis seeks maximum purity without clarifying or filtering, respecting natural spontaneous fermentation processes.
Does it taste like orange?
Not necessarily, the name comes from the color. However, on the nose, it often presents citrus notes of candied orange peel and tea that make it very exotic.
