2019 Salvo Foti I Vigneri Palmento Caselle Etna Bianco Superiore DOC

Salvo Foti is a big name in Sicily as he's been the consulting enologist for many wineries across the island. In fact, I Vigneri is also the name of his consulting collective- you will see wines made by other producers with the I Vigneri symbol on them.

The Foti style has become a dogmatic practice of stainless steel, cement, and occasional amphora with no temperature control, no additives (save for very minimal sulfur at bottling), with biodynamic principles included (i.e. bottling according to the phases of the moon). His philosophy extends into the vineyards where he grows only organic grapes and plants his vines in the free from, native Etnean "alberello" system at a high density.
