✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic Baglio Soria estate in the countryside of Trapani, Firriato's Soria Frappato is a vibrant expression of one of Sicily's most beloved indigenous red grape varieties. The Baglio Soria estate, with its clay-rich soils and exposure to refreshing maritime breezes, provides an ideal microclimate that preserves the grape's signature freshness and aromatic complexity. Frappato has a long history on the island, celebrated for its joyful, red-fruit character and elegant, light-bodied structure. Firriato crafts this wine using modern temperature-controlled fermentation to capture the delicate floral notes of violet and fresh red berries, offering a contemporary tribute to Sicily's ancient winemaking 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.
