Oenologist Salvo Foti in front of Gulfi, the winery he directs together with founder and owner Vito Catania
Investing on men. And stimulating them to always do better. It is only in this way that you can do a good job in the cellar and in the vineyard. Oenologist Salvo Foti has no doubts: «It is true that wines are born in the vineyard. However, if we leave nature to its own resources, we’ll obtain nothing. Firstly, you need to know how to cultivate. Then you need proper work in the cellar too, with suitable instruments». These are, in essence, the foundations of the Gulfi winery in Chiaramonte Gulfi, Sicily, and of the project conducted by the company’s founder and owner, Vito Catania, who wanted expert Salvo Foti beside him. Investing on skills also led to another advantage for the area, as all the employees are Sicilian, and were trained so as to be able to work in the company’s 65 hectares of vineyards.
