Firriato

2012 Sicilia Nero D'avola, Syrah

Santagostino Firriato, a remarkable red wine from the sun-kissed vineyards of Sicilia, showcases an exquisite blend of Nero D'Avola and Syrah. This 2012 vintage reveals a captivating deep ruby color, hinting at the rich flavors that lie within. On the palate, it presents a beautifully balanced profile, marked by a medium-full body and a lively acidity that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering luscious notes of dark cherries and blackberries, harmonized by subtle undertones of spice and earth. The tannins are firm yet supple, contributing to a structured mouthfeel that enhances the wine's elegance. As a dry wine, it delivers a lingering finish that leaves a delightful impression, making it a superb companion for hearty dishes or enjoying on its own.
