Born in the fertile vineyards of Sicily, Firriato's Quater Vitis Rosso is a sublime expression of the unique terroir of this sunny island. This refined blend of four native grape varieties—Nero d'Avola, Perricone, Frappato, and Nerello Cappuccio—gives this wine a distinctive personality and a character deeply rooted in local winemaking traditions.
With its intense ruby red color with violet reflections, Quater Vitis Rosso reveals a complex and enveloping aromatic bouquet on the nose. Notes of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, meld with spicy accents and a slight touch of vanilla, a legacy of aging in oak barrels. On the palate, the wine is generous and well-structured; the tannins are soft yet present, balanced by a lively freshness that beckons the next sip.
Its evolution on the palate is elegant, with a long and persistent finish that leaves a pleasant sensation of harmony and complexity. An ideal partner to accompany rich and flavorful dishes such as red meat roasts, game, and aged cheeses, Quater Vitis is also perfect for elevating special occasions or for being savored on its own as a meditation wine.
Firriato, with its commitment to sustainable agriculture and the enhancement of indigenous varieties, presents in this Quater Vitis Rosso a true testament to Sicilian winemaking excellence, capable of telling, sip after sip, the story and passion of the land from which it originates.
