This comes from a vineyard of century-old vines of Nerello Mascalese (making up 80% of the blend), Nerello Cappuccio, and Grenache (10% each), although since the vines are so old, there's a distinct possibility that other varieties, whose names are long forgotten, make their way into the blend. They are planted on sandy and stony soils and are bush-trained, as is the custom of the island. Vinupetra is Foti's tête de cuvée, in a way, with its power and concentration. The structure is commanding, and balancing the dark fruit are notes of smoke, salt, and herbs.
