✨ 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 Vinzia Novara, Firriato has grown to become an architectural pillar of contemporary Sicilian viticulture. The estate stewards hundreds of hectares across Sicily's most ecologically distinct macro-zones: the sun-drenched, clay-limestone hills of the Trapani countryside (such as Baglio Sorìa and Borgo Guarini), the maritime Quaternary calcarenites of Favignana Island, and the high-elevation volcanic sands of Cavanera Etnea on Mount Etna. Viticulture is entirely certified organic and managed under a pioneering zero-carbon-impact philosophy. In the cellar, temperature-controlled stainless steel vinification preserves high-toned aromatic freshness, tension, and native varietal typicity before selective maturation in stainless steel or neutral wood. Firriato's white wine portfolio champions indigenous and naturalized cultivars—predominantly Grillo, Catarratto, and Zibibbo—yielding benchmark expressions like the saline, maritime-influenced Favinia La Muciara, the organic Caeles series, the floral Jasmin, and the radiant, naturally sun-dried Favinia Passule.
