Firriato, Harmonium 2018

Firriato is a big family, but it is also a very harmonious team, composed by high-level skills combined with an attachment to the land. The family Di Gaetano has given its best, gathering, cultivating and involving human profiles that gradually became part of the family. For them it is not just a job, they take care of a dream, they grow an ambition, is they cultivate a goal at the service of his own Earth.

The best selection of nero d'avola grapes are fermented and aged in barrique for 1 year. Firriato is one of the “Power Houses” of Sicilian winemaking. In the beginning of the 80’s, Salvatore and Vinzia had a dream of bringing Sicilian wines to high quality standards. Since then this tenacious-entrepreneurial couple, with the help of top enologist Giuseppe Pellegrino, created a range of wines that suite the most refine palates. All of their wines are a mix of tradition and innovation, a mix of indigenous and international varieties that throughout the years defined Sicily as perfect land.

TASTING NOTES: This Nero d'Avola opens with ripe black-skinned berry, carob and cedar aromas. The chewy savory palate offers dried black cherry, raspberry jam and cocoa alongside fine-grained tannins.
