Description

The Sorìa Perricone by Firriato is the result of careful research and experimentation aimed at bringing to light one of the rarest and most distinctive grape varieties of the Sicilian winemaking tradition. This wine is made from a second clone of Perricone, carefully selected by Firriato to explore its expressive potential in pedoclimatic contexts different from the traditional ones.

The grapes come from the Baglio Sorìa vineyards, in the territory of the Trapani countryside, where soils and microclimate give the wine a unique and distinctive sensory profile, different from that of Perricone grown in Pianoro Cuddia, from which Ribeca is produced.

On the nose, Sorìa Perricone opens with intense notes of ripe red fruits, plum and cherry jam, enriched by delicate vegetal nuances and an elegant spicy weave recalling juniper and black pepper. On the palate, it is refined and balanced, with soft and well-integrated tannins and a long, harmonious persistence that enhances the full complexity of the grape variety.

A wine of character and personality, which tells the most authentic Sicily through a modern and conscious interpretation of a historic grape variety. Perfect for those who wish to discover original and profound expressions of island winemaking.
