WINERY
IDDA is a collaboration between renowned winemakers Angelo Gaja and Alberto Graci, launched on Mount Etna in 2017. The Graci family holds a distinguished reputation in the region’s winemaking traditions. Their vineyards stretch across the southern slopes of the volcano, encompassing a diverse array of altitudes, exposures, and unique soils. Today, the estate comprises 50 acres of vineyards situated at 2,000 to 2,600 feet above sea level in the villages of Belpasso and Biancavilla.

WINE
IDDA means “she” in the Sicilian dialect, which is the term of endearment and awe with which Sicilians refer to Mount Etna. With its red label evoking the iconic lava of Mount Etna, this polished, terroir-driven blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio embodies the hallmark expression of Gaja and Graci’s winemaking heritage.

VINEYARDS
Located in Biancavilla on the southwest slope of Etna Volcano. The soils are light in colour and are among the oldest of all Etna.
