The Perricone Ribeca di Firriato is produced from 100% Perricone grapes grown in the Agro di Trapani. The vineyards, located in the South/South-West, are on clay-limestone soil, at an altitude of about 200 meters above sea level. After manual harvesting, the grapes were transported to the winery for vinification, which took place in thermo-controlled stainless steel tanks. Here, alcoholic fermentation occurred and lasted for 14 days at a temperature of 26-28°C. Before bottling, the Perricone Sicilia di Ribeca by Firriato aged for 10-12 months in French oak barrels.

PERRICONE SICILIA RIBECA FIRRIATO: TASTING NOTES

The Perricone Ribeca di Firriato presents itself in the glass with a ruby red color and purple reflections. On the nose, it reveals aromas of cherry and ripe wild berries intertwined with hints of balsamic herbs, warm notes of licorice, juniper, and dark spices. The taste is sumptuous and balanced, enhanced by a vigorous and elegant tannic texture and a long fruity and spicy finish. It pairs well with aged cheeses, as well as tasty land-based dishes with red meats or game.
