Description

Precision viticulture and respectful oenology are emblems of the production philosophy of the Di Gaetano family, whose firstborn is Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Bianco. This label has raised Firriato's prestige and reputation worldwide. It is a blend of Catarratto, the most widespread indigenous white grape variety in Sicily, and Chardonnay, the international allochthonous variety that has best adapted to the island. The mineral elements from the soils of Baglio Sorìa blend in a balanced manner with the freshness of the floral and fruity scents of Catarratto and the rich bouquet with the complex body given by the barrique fermentation of Chardonnay. The result is a sophisticated wine with character and elegance.

Perfume

Extremely charming and elegant and perfectly focused nose with scents of peach, melon, almond, pineapple, and white wildflowers that share the hints of butter and vanilla hazelnut.

Taste

Taste

A matchless and rich fruit, almost turgid; it unfolds with aristocratic grace, dense and caressing softness, supported by an extraordinarily distinct and balanced acid vein with a clean and lingering finish.

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
