The Camelot Sicilia DOC 2018 by Firriato is a prestigious red wine that represents the highest expression of Sicilian terroir. Produced from a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, the Camelot is born in the vineyards of the Firriato estate, located in the hills of Trapani, an area known for its favorable climatic conditions and the quality of its soils. The vineyards are cultivated on clay-limestone soils, which give the wine structure and complexity. The harvest is done manually in the early morning hours to preserve the freshness of the grapes. After harvesting, the grapes are carefully selected and vinified separately in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Fermentation lasts about 3 weeks, followed by aging for 12 months in French oak barrels and another 6 months in the bottle before being released.
