Description

The Grillo grape grown on the Borgo Guarini estate fully expresses the peculiarities of its terroir of origin. The hilly climate, with its greater temperature ranges than the coastal area, brings to these grapes a richer and more intense dowry of thiols and aromatic precursors. The rising grape variety of Sicilian oenology is usually grown near the coast.

Perfume

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
