Firriato Santagostino Baglio Soria Bianco DOC Sicilia 2019 Cl 75

Precision viticulture and respectful enology are emblems of the production philosophy of the Di Gaetano family which has, among its first-born, Santagostino Baglio Soria Bianco, a label that has raised Firriato’s prestige and reputation to the four corners of the world. It is a blend of Catarratto, the most common native white grape variety in Sicily, and Chardonnay, the international allochthonous that has best adapted to the island. The supply of mineral elements from the soils of Baglio Sorìa blend in a balanced way with the freshness of the floral and fruity scents of Catarratto and the rich bouquet with the complex body given by the fermentation in barrique of the Chardonnay. The result is a wine with character, sophisticated and elegant.
