When discussing the wines of Mount Etna, it is almost impossible not to mention the name Salvo Foti. A native of the city of Catania, Salvo studied oenology and began his career in 1981 as a technical and agrarian advisor to some noted estates in eastern Sicily. He continues that work today for estates such as Gulfi, Benanti and Vini Biondi, all of whose wines are universally recognized as among the best in Sicily.
Several years ago, Salvo’s love of Etna inspired him to begin a consortium called I Vigneri. Today I Vigneri is an association between Salvo Foti, other vine experts and local grape growers who bring their mutual experience working with the particular vines of Etna. It is also the name of his winery, which he now runs with his sons Simone and Andrea.

A nice, creamy texture from phenolics with lemons, apple blossoms and hints of other citrus. A blend of carricante and minella, this is naturally fermented. Made from organically grown grapes. Drink now.
