Terre Siciliane IGT Metodo Classico Brut Gaudensius Blanc de Blancs Firriato 75 cl

Description

History

The history of Firriato begins in the 1980s thanks to Salvatore Di Gaetano who was attracted to a very particular place, the Firriato neighborhood just outside the city of Trapani; a magical place, always 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 decided 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 had practically not yet been done in the Trapani area. In those years the Di Gaetano and Firriato family will be among the main interpreters of this wine “revolution” that Sicily will go through, making its wines known as high quality products and easily identifiable for style and quality.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow color with golden notes. Refined and intriguing on the nose, with notes of white fruit, delicate floral accents of acacia, honey and hazelnut, and an evident hint of minerality. In the mouth it is delicate, fresh and pleasantly saline, offering a perfect balance.

Possible combinations

It is perfectly suited to being drunk as aperitifs, but above all with first courses of fish and red prawns from Mazara.
