Sitta Maceración 2022
Albariño
Orange Wine Rías Baixas
750 ml
"Ancestral tradition and the avant-garde: an Albariño that revives skin-contact maceration to offer a sensory experience that is profound, structured, and radically different."
The Untamed Side of Rías Baixas
Sitta Maceración is the most experimental expression from Attis Bodega y Viñedos. It comes from old vines 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 the lees. It is an unfiltered and unfined wine, pure and unadorned, which redefines what an Albariño can become. You can purchase this oenological gem directly at La Cava Shop with shipping throughout Mexico.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is an Orange Wine?
It is a white wine made like a red wine, by leaving the must in contact with the grape skins. This gives it that orange color and a unique tannic structure.
Is it a natural wine?
Yes, it follows the philosophy of minimal intervention. Attis seeks maximum purity without fining or filtering, respecting the natural processes of spontaneous fermentation.
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.
