About I Vigneri di Salvo Foti Vinupetra

Sicily (Italy), a strategic island in the Mediterranean, has always been the victim of invasions and, consequently, of the continuous settlement of different peoples. So it is not surprising that the dialect has Greek, Arabic, Norman, Catalan, Spanish and French influences. A collection of different cultures that makes the island unique. And it is in homage to this meeting point of different landscapes that Salvo Foti makes his I Vigneri di Salvo Foti Vinupetra wine. Making use of the Sicilian word “Vinupetra” which means “wine produced in a soil full of stones”, this wine emphasises all of this ancient tradition.

The truth is that from a viticultural point of view, on the slopes of the Etna volcano, viticulture was already happening before the arrival of the Greeks in the 8th century B C and, in search of this originality, Salvo created I Vigneri di Salvo Foti Vinupetra. A red wine made from the Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio varieties. These vines are over 100 years old, planted on volcanic soil in a 0.38 hectare plot at 580 metres above sea level in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia, on North Etna. The vines are cultivated by hand using natural and organic products. In the winery, the grapes are gently pressed, 30% of which still have their stems. They are then macerated with the skins for at least 15 days in a 2500 litre wooden vat. Fermentation takes place with native yeasts for 10 days and then the wine is aged in 225 and 500 litre barrels for 12 months.

With the aim of showcasing identity, tradition and territory, Vigneri di Salvo Foti Vinupetra is a DOC Etna Rosso wine. A volcanic red wine that tells a story of minerality and with an acidity that demonstrates an extraordinary aging potential.

2019

I Vigneri di Salvo Foti Vinupetra 2019 is a concentrated red wine with intense aromas of red and black fruit, mineral notes and hints of wet earth and truffle. On the palate it is opulent, flavoursome and elegant. A wine where the acidity and tannic structure are very well integrated and in its youth, it shows off its full fruity side. Ideal for bottle aging.
