Firriato Gaudensius Blanc de Blancs Metodo Classico Brut
Quality soil acknowledgement and know-how regarding the interaction between Vineyard-Terroir are the keys to interpreting Firriato’s work in all its estates. This working conduct is much more evident in the Cavanera Etnea estate, where the winery produces Gaudensius Blanc de Blancs, a sparkling wine produced according to the classic method employing white grapes of Carricante and Chardonnay. Carricante grapes are typical of the Etna volcano and grow in the Cavanera Etnea estate, while Chardonnay grapes express all the hilly features of a cru growing in the Borgo Guarini estate, within the Trapani countryside, where these grapes can be used for the sparkling process just like those growing in the Champagne region.
