Description

Sicilian still red, 14% ABV, produced by Firriato on the Baglio Soria Estate, in a 1.5L magnum, 2016 vintage. A blend of Nero d'Avola and Syrah that tells the story of a winery that has successfully interpreted Sicilian winemaking tradition with a modern twist. Manually harvested, the grapes are aged for eight months in American oak barriques and then aged for 12 months in bottle. It presents concentrated and well-defined nuances of morello cherry, berries, rhubarb, cloves, aromatic herbs, and plum, which alternate and intertwine with captivating notes of licorice, ink, and tobacco leaves. Supple, soft, and caressing, it displays its great personality with a strong Mediterranean influence.

Firriato's strength is that it has been able to interpret, from the very beginning, the ancient Sicilian winemaking tradition in a modern key. Started in 1984 in the Trapani countryside, in Baglio Sorìa, the adventure of Salvatore Gaetano and his wife Vinzia evolved rapidly, taking the company to the top of the island's production quality in just a few years. Today, with more than three decades of experience and their daughter Irene working in the company, the philosophy has not changed and five more have been added to the original estate, creating a unique winemaking heritage with around 470 hectares under vine, no less than 34 labels and a total of 4.5 million bottles produced.

The company, nevertheless, is always projected towards the future and to the enhancement of the territory, in particular, at the moment, it is very focused with its efforts on the Etna area. Read more
