Firriato, Ribeca, Sicilia, Italy 2018

From the hillsides in the rustic countryside outside of Trapani, Firriato cultivates its own clonal selection of Perricone. Their contribution to the renaissance of this once nearly lost variety. The wine's aromas of bay leaf are framed alongside sweet black plums, mocha powder, baked cherry and hints of smoky frankincense. Dark ripe fruits and savoury spice drive the palate forward. A sense of elegance tames the variety's rusticity, with flavours of sweet black plum and hints of rusticity are tamed by a sense of elegance. The wine finishes with bright red berries and warm barrel spice.
