2023 Radica Italian Red Wine by I Vigneri

Discover Sicily in Every Sip: 2023 Natural Grenache by I Vigneri di Salvo Foti

Experience the vibrant soul of Sicily with this exceptional 2023 Sicilian Grenache from the revered I Vigneri di Salvo Foti. Crafted with profound respect for tradition and terroir, this wine embodies authentic natural winemaking at its finest.

Our commitment begins in the sun-drenched vineyards where grapes are meticulously hand-harvested, ensuring only the finest fruit reaches the cellar. Embracing low-intervention techniques, the grapes undergo carbonic semi-maceration in ancient open tonneaux for about a week. This gentle process unlocks intense, pure fruit flavors while preserving remarkable freshness – a hallmark of minimalist Sicilian wine.

Fermentation sparks naturally using only indigenous yeasts, capturing the unique microbial fingerprint of the estate. The wine then matures gracefully in stainless steel tanks for six months, allowing its bright character and varietal expression of Grenache to shine without oak influence. True to Salvo Foti’s philosophy, this wine is produced entirely without biotechnology or additives and receives only a wide filtration before bottling.

The result? A beautifully expressive organic Sicilian red wine boasting lively red fruit notes, a supple texture, and an elegant structure. At 12% alcohol, it offers delightful drinkability and purity. Perfect for those seeking an authentic Italian wine experience, it pairs wonderfully with Mediterranean cuisine or enjoyed slightly chilled on its own.
