Carricante Vigna di Milo 2016, I Vigneri di Salvo Foti

by

It is rarely possible to talk about a bond between winemaker and terroir with a greater depth than that which for over 40 years has united Salvo Foti and the volcanic Etna soils. Salvo is first and foremost a man deeply in love with his land, which has studied and recounted endlessly in countless lectures around the world, and from which he tries to obtain wines produced with techniques that belong to a rich wine tradition handed down from father to son.

by

The rediscovery of wine production on Etna is probably the most important event of the last 20-30 years of Italian wine history. The deep-sea volcanic soils have become the cradle that hosts the cultivation of vines such as the two Nerello (Mascalese and Cappuccio) Carricante and Minnella, giving rise to wines that have taken very little to impose themselves to the attention of the most demanding and updated palates.
