Notes
The I Vigneri di Salvo Foti "Vinupetra" Etna Rosso is a distinguished red wine from the slopes of Mount Etna, produced by the renowned winemaker Salvo Foti and his team at I Vigneri, a collective focused on reviving and maintaining the traditional winemaking practices of Sicily's volcanic region. The wine comes from ancient bush-trained vines, some over 100 years old, planted at 700 meters above sea level in the village of Castiglione di Sicilia. The soils here are rich in volcanic ash and minerals, imparting a distinct character to the wine. Made primarily from Nerello Mascalese and a smaller percentage of Nerello Cappuccio, Vinupetra offers a complex bouquet of red fruits, spices, and earthy undertones, with subtle hints of wild herbs. On the palate, it is elegant and structured, showcasing fine tannins, lively acidity, and a distinctive mineral finish that echoes the volcanic terroir. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled meats, game dishes, or aged cheeses, offering a true expression of Etna's unique terroir and Salvo Foti's commitment to preserving the island’s ancient winemaking traditions through sustainable and traditional practices.
