✨ 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 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.
