Firriato Quater Vitis Bianco 2018
The high percentage of clay present in Pianoro Cuddìa’s soil gives rise to a wine that perfectly reflects the organoleptic properties of its earth. A blend of four different native vine varieties, Quater vitis Bianco could be considered a genuine interpretation of Sicily, one that encapsulates the whole island in one single glass.

Colour

Bright straw yellow color with marked shades of green.

Bouquet

Fine and complex aromatic profile of elegant nuances that dialogue and recall medlars, oranges, pineapple, mango, orange blossoms, elder and linden alternated with lavender, thyme, ginger and flint.

Flavour

It grows softly and gently unfolding with the sure confidence of its fine essence and pleasant and vibrating acidity; lingering beyond all description, it affords its whirlwind of fine aromas to the mouth.

Pairing

Fish
Shellfish
Cheese
