When it's on Etna a grande signore, then this is Salvo Foti. and in its interest, the wine world should clearly differentiate between Sicily as a whole and Etna. Around it, a winegrowers' association of vintners and winegrowers has formed, which have their roots in deep tradition. In 1435, in Catania, the Maestranza dei Vigneri was founded. Today's association is also based on the ancient traditions and the cultural asset wine: I Vigneri. The old vine with the lettering and the year 1435 is immortalized on the bottles today. Obligatory for this are locations at Etna or in southeastern Sicily, old vines, autochthonous grape varieties, as little manipulation as possible, and respect for the environment as well as typical regional viticultural traditions. Salvo Foti supports the members in an advisory capacity. His own wine estate is based on the same values.
