This important association of winemakers, operating on Etna, created the basis for a winemaking profession whose protagonists were the winemakers themselves. After 500 years, I Vigneri is an entity operating on Etna and in eastern Sicily.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vines are cultivated following Etna traditions, placing respect for the environment and the people who live on the land first. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis agricultural approach leads us to use only traditional fungicides such as copper and sulphur for vine cultivation. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe training system with which all our vineyards are cultivated is the Etnean sapling.

The vineyard was planted entirely with the ancient Etna technique of “magliuoli”: direct production, without grafting on American vines (ungrafted). The vineyard is cultivated by hand using natural products. No biotechnology is used in winemaking. Decanting and bottling are carried out according to the lunar phases. All bottles are numbered and show the number on the main label.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94 Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe 2022 Etna Bianco Superiore Palmento Caselle is the most mineral and salty, boasting a bright straw color. Made in the traditional Palmento press, as its name suggests, it cannot be classified as DOC. It’s more round in this vintage, showing notes of citrus, crushed stones, fresh peach, pineapple, fresh flowers, saline, and Marcona almond. Medium to full-bodied, it needs time to open. It has more modest acidity in this vintage, but has a lot to offer. Made from 100% Caricante, this is the first vintage where they used Austrian oak in the aging of the wine.

This steps lightly yet has a huge impact, with ripe pit fruits and sweet spices guided by a core of juicy acidity. This leaves a resonance of spice and hints of nectarine while finishing long and with a pleasant inner tension that calls the taster back for more. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eProduct size: 750ml\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farm Wine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52114330779953,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/0441\/0666\/files\/I_Vigneri_di_Salvo_Foti_Palmento_Caselle_Etna_Bianco_Superiore_DOC_Sicily_Italy_2022.jpg?v=1764161990","url":"https:\/\/marchantofwine.com\/products\/i-vigneri-di-salvo-foti-palmento-caselle-etna-bianco-superiore-doc-sicily-italy-2022","provider":"Merchant of Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
