✨ Technical Specifications
The Santagostino Baglio Soria Rosso is a landmark label in the modern history of Sicilian winemaking, representing one of the earliest and most successful marriages of native and international grape varieties on the island. Sourced from the historic Baglio Soria estate in the Trapani countryside, this wine benefits from clay-loam soils and a microclimate influenced by maritime breezes. The blend combines the rich, dark-fruit character of Nero d'Avola with the spicy structure of Syrah. Aged in French oak barriques, it reflects Firriato's pioneering spirit in elevating Sicilian red blends to the global stage, offering a velvety texture and deep complexity that honors its western Sicilian heritage.
🍾 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.
