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.
