Primavera Vino Bianco IGT 2025

Wine Description for Primavera Vino Bianco IGT 2025 by I Vigneri di Salvo Foti

Character

The Primavera Vino Bianco IGT is a white assemblage wine that reflects the experimental yet deeply rooted spirit of Salvo Foti. With 12.0% vol. alcohol and a dry profile, it embodies a light, fresh style that places elegance above extraction – entirely in keeping with the Sicilian spring that the name “Primavera” promises.

Terroir & Origin

Sicily is far more than sun and sulphur: the island offers remarkable diversity in microclimates, volcanic soils and wind-swept higher elevations that can produce wines of remarkable freshness. I Vigneri, the winemakers’ collective around Salvo Foti, is deeply rooted in the philosophy of artisanal, tradition-conscious winemaking – with particular attention to autochthonous and historically anchored varieties as well as respectful vineyard work.

Grape Variety & Vinification

The cuvée unites three characterful white wine varieties: Chenin Blanc, renowned for its vibrant acidity and complexity; Pinot Blanc (Weißburgunder), which contributes texture and quiet elegance; and Savagnin, one of Europe’s oldest grape varieties with spicy, mineral depth. This unusual combination on Sicilian soil is a deliberate statement: Foti does not think of Sicily as a cliché, but as a living wine laboratory with historical memory. The vinification signature of I Vigneri suggests that cellar interventions are kept to a minimum in order to preserve the purity of expression.

Food Pairing Recommendations

The fresh, dry style makes this wine a versatile companion to the Mediterranean table. Recommended with grilled fish, caponata or pasta alle vongole. It also harmonises beautifully with mild goat’s cheese, vitello tonnato or a simple insalata di mare. A wine that invites contemplation – and demands to be drunk again.
