Firriato Santagostino Baglio Soria Cataratto Chardonnay 2021
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.

Colour

Bright, lively gold.

Bouquet

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.

Flavour

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.

Pairing

It is excellent with fish tempura.
