Etna DOC Metodo Classico Brut Gaudensius Blanc De Noir Firriato

Description

History

The story of Firriato began in the 80s thanks to Salvatore Di Gaetano who was attracted to a very particular place, the district of Firriato just outside the city of Trapani; a magical place that has always been linked to the cultivation of vines and marked by the sea on one side and the fortress of the city of Erice on the other. He therefore decides to start again from the vineyard by planting the first vineyards of Nero d’Avola, Catarratto and Inzolia with the desire to obtain wines of great territorial expression and quality, something that was practically not yet done in the Trapani area. In those years, Di Gaetano and Firriato’s family will be among the main interpreters of this wine “revolution” that Sicily will go through by making its wines known as products of great quality and easily identifiable by style and quality.
