Vigna di Milo – Etna Bianco Superiore Caselle DOC
The 100% Carricante vine of this small parcel is the fruit of one particular mass wine selection made by salvo foti in over 20 years of activity. The vineyard was planted in part with the ancient Etnean technique of the “Mallet cuttings: or “Magliuoli”: direct production, without grafting on American vine ( ungrafted ). Vineyard cultivation is done by hand using natural products. Biotechnologies are not used in winemaking. Transfer and bottling are carried out according to the phases of the moon.
