Imbottigliato da Firriato s.r.l. - Paceco Italia per Firriato società semplice agricola - Baglio Sorìa Paceco ITALIA
With over 30 years of production, Santagostino Rosso, a blend of Nero d'Avola and Syrah, is one of the most successful Sicilian reds on the national and international wine scene. The grapes in this case come from the Baglio Sorìa estate, owned by the Firriato company, where soils capable of retaining water ensure that the grapes ripen well, without ever going into water stress, even during particularly dry years. This, combined with optimal exposures and climatic conditions unique to the region, allow the fine Paceco estate to produce, year after year, a wine characterised by noble tannins and considerable anthocyanic charge. A red of exceptional drinkability and pleasantness, with an important capacity for ageing. Excellent right from the start, this Sicilian red is capable of evolving well in the cellar for several years. Well stored, in the dark and at the right temperature, we can uncork a bottle of Santagostino Rosso every time we have a tasty dish on our table, such as a traditional aubergine caponata or with a roast beef, slowly cooked for several hours.
Among Sicily's most representative wineries is undoubtedly Firriato. Modern in conception, style and marketing, Firriato was born from the idea of a visionary entrepreneur from Trapani, Salvatore Di Gaetano, who has always been flanked by his charming wife Vinzia, who for years also represented the winery's public image in the world. It was the 1980s and Sicilian wine was about to experience its golden age, its renaissance, as someone wrote in the past. Today, almost 40 years later, the Firriato winery is a solid reality, based in Paceco, between Trapani and Erice, with vineyards scattered in different areas of Sicily. In fact, it owns around 320 hectares of vines, divided into no less than seven different estates, including one on the slopes of Mount Etna and one on the island of Favignana. If in the countryside the strictest respect for nature reigns, in the cellar it is technology that helps the oenologists make the most of each variety worked, whether native or international. The result is wines that have won awards from critics all over the world and are sought after by wine enthusiasts, year after year.
