Description

An enchanting texture, which unfolds almost "whispering", with the class of its high lineage, an expression of the warmth of the Sicilian sun, enriched and crossed by subtle and deep marine and fruity nuances, caressing and perturbing. Aristocratic and reserved, it is a sweet and dynamic nectar, of extraordinary persistence, suave and graceful, fragrant, to be tasted even alone, in one's own intimacy, safe in the knowledge that it is an elegant, authoritative and sensual companion, never intrusive

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1985
  • Oenologist: Giovanni Di Giovanna, Paolo Errante
  • Bottles produced: 4.000.000
  • Hectares: 490
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.

It perfectly pairs with the most common desserts such as apple strudel, baked raisins, Catalan cream, puff pastry with vanilla mousse, nice tart oranges, and lavender ice cream. It is also excellent with the foie gras and savoury cheeses.
