A blend of Catarratto, the most widespread indigenous white grape variety in Sicily, and Chardonnay, an international grape variety that has proven to be a perfect fit on the island. This is Santagostino Bianco, one of the most prestigious wines of Trapani-based Firriato. A wine of character, sophisticated and elegant, much of the credit for its success can be attributed to the particular endowment of mineral elements present in the soils of Baglio Sorìa, where Catarratto ripens to its best. In the cellar, then, the processes are accurate and the fruit of long experience, with the Chardonnay fermenting in barriques, acquiring complexity and depth. Straw yellow in colour, Santagostino Bianco presents a pleasantly variegated nose, with delicate notes of flowers and fruit that intersect with those of citrus. In the mouth, however, the Catarratto brings body, and the Chardonnay complements it with typical exotic fruit notes, softened and made more elegant by the passage in wood. An absolute champion on the international scene for over thirty years, Santagostino Bianco encapsulates the scents of the most authentic Sicilian character. For lovers of territorial pairings, this white wine pairs well with savoury dishes such as pasta with Trapanese pesto.
