✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the sun-drenched hills of the Trapani countryside in western Sicily, Firriato's Charme Rosé is a vibrant and elegant expression of the island's contemporary winemaking renaissance. This light, slightly sparkling (frizzante) rosé is crafted from a selection of native Sicilian red grape varieties, capturing the essence of the Mediterranean breeze and the clay-rich soils of the estate. The wine is produced using a gentle pressing followed by temperature-controlled fermentation, with a short secondary fermentation in autoclaves to obtain its signature delicate, persistent bead. It represents a modern, playful side of Sicilian viticulture, designed to evoke the joyful, carefree spirit of Mediterranean summers.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1984 by Salvatore Di Gaetano and his wife Vinizia Novara, Firriato is one of Sicily's premier wine producers, widely acclaimed for championing the island's viticultural renaissance. The estate spans remarkably diverse terroirs across Sicily, ranging from the sun-drenched vineyards of the Trapani countryside and the maritime climate of the island of Favignana to the high-altitude volcanic slopes of Mount Etna. Deeply committed to certified organic farming and sustainability, Firriato focuses on preserving authentic biodiversity by cultivating native Sicilian varieties such as Nero d'Avola, Nerello Mascalese, and Grillo, alongside select international grapes. Their dynamic portfolio captures the distinct character of each microclimate through celebrated flagship wines like Harmonium, Ribeca, and the Etna-sourced Cavanera collection.
