FIRRIATO

Firriato is a unit of measurement, a clear concept, the result of a business decision capable of transforming itself into promise and devotion. Recalling a production history that holds such importance for the world of high-quality Sicilian wine in a few brief lines could result in a rash and inadequate summary. Because Firriato is a company that is a living, warm-blooded organism that thrives on nature, identity and passion.

Altavilla della Corte Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Cabernet Sauvignon is a vine originating from Bordeaux that produces wines characterised by an incomparable smoothness on the palate. It is the variety favoured in the production of great reds destined for long-term ageing. Thanks to an incredible capacity to adapt to different climates, it is the most diffuse vine in the entire world. Altavilla della Corte Cabernet Sauvignon is a label that seals the pact of love between two historical wine-producing regions of the world: France and Sicily. The first is the land of origin for the Cabernet Sauvignon grape; the second is the island at the heart of the Mediterranean where the Di Gaetano Family brought the dream of Firriato to life. A land that has always been dedicated to quality viticulture, Sicily manages to express all its authenticity in the glass.

Etna Rosso

Le Sabbie dell’Etna Rosso 2017

Le Sabbie dell’Etna Rosso, together with its white variant, is the forerunner of Firriato’s many decades of wine production on Etna. Wines from the Cavanera Etnea Estate form part of the elite by birth and are dedicated to exclusivity. They are labels considered for and dedicated to the most demanding wine-lovers. Le Sabbie dell’Etna Rosso comes to the glass with a delicious and complex bouquet with notes of cinnamon, black pepper, blackcurrant and cherries in alcohol. Only the extraordinary terroir of Castiglione di Sicilia, on the slopes of Europe’s largest active volcano, could yield a wine with such great personality. The estate’s volcanic soils are distinguished by their high nutrient content of phosphorous, which determines the sugar content in the must; manganese, which increases the plants’ resistance to the cold; and iron, which contributes to the black grapes’ pigmentation, giving the native vine varieties of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio their bright ruby red colour.

Etna Bianco

Le Sabbie dell’Etna Bianco 2018

Le Sabbie dell’Etna Bianco is a wine that is fully established in Firriato’s history. A label of the volcano’s pioneering oenology; it combines the qualities of Carricante and Catarratto—two vines that are symbolic of Etna’s viticultural tradition. The terroir is completely different from the rest of Sicily, with cold winters and less intense sunlight. The grapes here have slower ripening times and take on their fragrant aromas in a more linear way. Freshness and fragrance distinguish this wine together with its persistent tangy taste. Le Sabbie dell’Etna Bianco bewitches the senses with its aromas and flavour. The volcanic soil characterised by its high drainage capacity gives the grapes, and therefore the wine, a unique minerality enriched by the aromatic profile of Carricante, which in vinification gives elegant nuances of white fruit; and the supporting structure of Catarratto.

Charme Rosé 2018

Charme Rosè is the delicate gift that Borgo Guarini reserves for lovers of Sicilian native vine varieties. On some slopes of this hill, immersed in the Trapani countryside, native Sicilian black grape varieties are selected and harvested slightly before they have fully ripened in order to protect their aromatic properties and acidity. The regular vinification of the white grapes comes into brief contact with the skins of the black grapes giving the wine its characteristic, pleasant pink colour. The successive sparkling process, where bubbles are introduced to the wine in an autoclave, enhances this union making Charme Rosé so shiningly extrovert. Its silky bead introduces enchanting aromas that are enhanced by its fresh, fragrant flavour: a wine full of character, it is the ideal accompaniment to carefree moments.

Charme Bianco 2018

Seductive and vivacious on the palate, it is intense with fruity aromas, with an elegant character and a lively and stimulating balance. Charme Bianco is a white wine appreciated for its sunny freshness which derives from its Borgo Guarini terroir, a location unique in its orographic nature and exposure to the wind. The minerality that distinguishes the estate’s soil is returned in this wine, a blend of native vine varieties produced with an emphasis on lightness, freshness and drinkability. These native white grape vine varieties are harvested before they are fully ripe, giving Charme Bianco a highly satisfying vein of acidity that shines with fragrance and intensity. These elements give life to a wine with a soft structure, ideal for those who undertake to try the elegance of these native Sicilian varieties.

Altavilla della Corte Grillo 2018

The Grillo grapes grown on the Borgo Guarini Estate fully convey the uniqueness of their terroir of origin. The hillside climate, with greater differences in temperature in comparison to areas on the coast, endows these grapes with a richer and more intense aromatic profile, consisting of thiols and aromatic precursors. It is a vine on the rise in Sicilian oenology, where it is usually cultivated near the coast. Firriato, however, has chosen to grow it on the hillside area of the Borgo Guarini Estate. This area is characterised by a microclimate that is subject to a marked difference in temperature, which together with the action of the wind, allows them to obtain wines with a vast aromatic spectrum during the wine making process. These wines are fresher in comparison to wines produced from Grillo grapes cultivated on the coast.

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. The balance produced by the sweetness and the core supporting acidity make Quater Vitis bianco a wine that is destined to age in the bottle. It lends itself well to professional vertical wine tastings that compare it with other international whites with a similar longevity, like Reisling, Great Burgundy whites, Grand Cru and Premier Cru.

Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Bianco 2018

Precision viticulture and respectful oenology are emblems of the Di Gaetano family’s production philosophy, an original product of which is Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Bianco. This is a label that has raised Firriato’s renown and reputation in all four corners of the world. It is a blend of Catarratto, the most diffuse native Sicilian white grape variety, and Chardonnay, the non-native international variety which has best adapted to the island. The mineral content from the Baglio Sorìa soils blends in balance with the freshness of the floral and fruity fragrances of the Catarratto, and the rich complex body of the Chardonnay’s bouquet. The particular fragrance envelops the palate making Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Bianco a rare example of high quality oenology in the field of Sicilian winemaking and producing. The result is a wine with elegant and sophisticated character.

Quater Vitis Rosso 2014

Quater Vitis Rosso encapsulates wine-rich Sicily in a glass. It is a blend of Nero d’Avola, Perricone and Frappato grapes grown on the Pianoro Cuddìa estate, with Nerello Cappuccio grapes grown on the Cavanera Estate at about 680 metres above sea level on Etna. It comes from four different grape harvests, followed by as many separate vinifications which all enhance the uniqueness of each single variety. Each single wine is aged in American and French oak, for a maximum of 10 months. The different woods give different wood notes that unite in nuances of vanilla. The best cuvees obtained from this then undergo assemblage, giving life to this wine which harmoniously enhances the fragrances of red fruit from the Nero d’Avola, the freshness from Frappato, the spicy notes of Nerello Cappuccio and the elegance of Perricone.

Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Rosso 2014

The Baglio Sorìa Estate is home to one of Firriato’s oenological treasures—a quintessentially Sicilian red that has seduced wine lovers the world over with its pleasing complexity and its perfect balance between freshness and alcohol content. Rich in fruitiness and elegance it is a pioneering Sicilian blend of international and native grape varieties. The terroir in which it grows, its proximity to the coast, and the prevalence of clay and red marl in its soil contribute to creating climate and soil conditions that are unique in the agricultural setting of western Sicily. Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Rosso is the fruit of this uniqueness, remaining true to itself over more than thirty vintages. Harvest after harvest, it proves to be the emblematic symbol of Firriato’s oenological style with its impenetrable ruby red colour, releasing elegant nuances and velvety tannins in the glass.

Nero d'Avola

Chiaramonte Nero d’Avola 2016

This native Sicilian vine, by antonomasia, shines with a new light in this wine which fully embodies all the authentic properties of its fruit. It is a different interpretation of Nero d’Avola that evokes with personality all the aromatic qualities of the island’s most important red grape variety. The unique characteristics of the Dàgala Borromeo estate where this varietal is grown, lend themselves to shaping its modern structure and complex aromatic profile. Firriato’s research reaches its highest pinnacle here in the sandy loam, alluvial soils of this plain, with an attentive viticulture that fully reveals the great biodiversity of the Sicilian native vines’ heritage. Chiaramonte Nero d’Avola is one of the purest manifestations of this philosophy.

Passito

Favinia Passulé 2011

The Zibibbo vineyard on Calamoni grows just a few metres from the Favignana sea. Once harvested the grapes are transported in wooden crates, using fishing boats, from the island to dry land on mainland Sicily to be vinified. Favinia Passulé is distinguished by its sensory matrix with balmy tones that delicately balance with the slightly saline aromas. During the winter months the plants are protected from the force of the wind by a trellis barrier, but during the summer no barrier can protect the sweet ripened grapes from the greedy birds that populate the island. It is for this reason that Firriato has adopted the practice of integrated pest management in the vineyard, a technique that maintains the island’s delicate ecosystem through sustainable practices.

Favinia La Muciara 2016

Favinia La Muciara comes from the native grape varieties of Grillo, Catarratto and Zibibbo cultivated on the Calamoni Estate on Favignana. It is a wine that reflects the spirit of this unique and extreme land. The grapes are grown at sea level, the shore lying just 10 metres from the vineyard which sits on layers of Quaternary bio-calcarenite limestone—stratified over the centuries according to the rate of sedimentation to about half a metre. Among the farming practices employed by Firriato on Calamoni, one is the use of Neptune grass as a natural fertiliser for the vineyard. The wind blows the dried leaves of this marine plant in from the sea, providing the vines with a supply of nutrients. In addition to this, the Mediterranean breeze creates a marine aerosol effect which gives the wine a distinctive saline hint enveloped in elegant aromatic notes.

Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie 2013

From the vineyards grown on the black sandy soils of the Volcano comes Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie Etna DOC, a red cru blend of Nerello Mascalese and Nerello Cappuccio. This treasure from the volcano tangibly expresses the sensory characteristics and uniqueness of the grapes in the estate’s Single Vineyard. This vineyard is exclusively dedicated to the production of this label, and has been selected for the superior foliage of its vines, quality of its waters and its microclimate. Cavanera Rovo delle Coturnie is a wine with exceptionally mineral aromas which stands out for its alcoholic elegance and spicy aromas typical of Nerello Mascalese. It displays a light ruby red colour, erupting in the glass with an intensity of aromas of small red fruits. Full-bodied flavour and seductive tannins are its dominant characteristics.

Camelot 2013

Camelot’s elegance is the result of lengthy research, over more than 20 years, which Firriato has dedicated to guaranteeing the best climate and soil conditions for growing Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The Baglio Sorìa vineyards, located at an altitude of 120metres above sea level, with their vicinity to the Trapani coast and the uniqueness of their terroir, contribute to determining the ideal conditions for the cultivation of these two vines. The red marl in its soils allows the earth, during the hotter months, to remain compact and not crack. This maintains constant humidity in the subsoil which favours a balance between the ripened fruit’s sugar levels and its polyphenols, which is harder to achieve in hotter climates. Ageing for 12 months in French oak barriques gives the wine incomparable aromatic elegance and flavour.

Ribeca 2012 Magnum

Ribeca is the fruit of multiple decades of work recovering the relic vine of Perricone, from which Firriato has selected their own clone. The company has always believed in the quality of this vine variety that comes from the Sicilian wine-producing tradition, which is grown on the Pianoro Cuddìa Estate. This area has extremely windy and dry soil and climate conditions, and is where Perricone has found the ideal conditions for bringing out all its character. Firriato’s clone construes all the varietal characteristics of this once diffuse vine that has now all but vanished. The character of this variety is manifested in its notably elegant flavour, while Pianoro Cuddìa’s microclimate favours the development of the grapes’ aromatic complexity and intense but refined fragrances. Perricone is a long-standing vine from western Sicily’s oenological tradition. Its low yield and the difficulty in identifying the most suitable agronomic techniques for its growth, limit Perricone’s cultivation almost exclusively to the Trapani agricultural area. It is a difficult vine to read, both agronomically and oenologically. Firriato has interpreted Perricone by selecting from old vineyards scattered across the historical areas of its production, plants with the loosest bunches and smallest grapes.

Harmonium 2010 Jéroboam

Harmonium is the winning combination of Nero d’ Avola’s strength and Firriato’s style. The goal with Harmonium was to create the “cru of crus” that offered all the manifestations of this eclectic vine’s richness. After 15 years of analysis and microvinification, Firriato identified three different crus in the 165 hectares of the Borgo Guarini Estate: Ferla, Lepre and Beccaccia, cultivating vines from three different Nero d’Avola clones. The complexity of the soil and climate conditions has allowed the different organoleptic characteristics of the three Single Vineyards to be highlighted. The Harmonium grapes are harvested at different times because they ripen at different times. They are vinified separately before being united into the blend behind the story of this iconic label. Every Harmonium vintage tells a story which perfectly matches Sicily’s climate trends. The different crus Lepre, Ferla, and Beccaccia with their different soil conditions and microclimates each produce magnificent bunches of Nero d’Avola grapes which perfectly match the characteristics of their different crus of origin. The separate vinification of these grapes causes slight differences in the assembly of the blend from year to year. Sensorial and qualitative analyses are followed intensely in order to determine the best possible balance, giving a wine that is able to express, with just one vine variety, the elegance, strength and pleasure of the great Sicilian reds. Harmonium is historically considered to be a fundamental symbol of high quality, modern Sicilian oenology. It is a label with an authentically elegant personality which comes through in the glass in its impenetrable ruby red colour. It is harmonious and enchanting like the name it carries—the very synthesis of Firriato’s style.
