Descrizione

Santagostino Rosso, like all Firriato wines, has the main characteristic of being impeccable in style and cleanliness of execution. The company produces wines with a great fruity charge and extreme taste pleasure that fully reflect all the warmth and immense generosity of the Sicilian land.

It is defined as a real jewel of Trinacria enology, where love for one's land and love for things done well prevails. Santagostino Rosso comes from a particular equal blend of Nero d'Avola and Syrah, a perfect fusion of wines of great depth and minerality.

It has a dark ruby red color and offers fruity hints of marasca cherry and blueberry jam to the nose, followed by floral aromas of rose petals, with hints of black pepper. The taste is warm and soft, with a silky tannic texture and a long spicy persistence.

A perfect match is with the timbale of pasta and aubergines, it goes well with roasted meat and Ragusano DOP.
