Firriato Harmonium 2013
The Harmonium is the successful synthesis between the power of Nero d'Avola and the Firriato style. The goal was to create a "cru dei cru" that offered all the expressions of the richness of such an eclectic variety. After 15 years of analysis and microvinification, Firriato has identified, in the 165 hectares of Borgo Guarini, the three different crus of Ferla, Lepre and Beccaccia, to breed vines obtained from three different mass selections of Nero d'Avola. The complexity of the pedoclimatic conditions has allowed us to highlight the different organoleptic characteristics of the three Single Vineyards. The grapes of the Harmonium are harvested in different harvest times because they have different maturations and are vinified separately to join in a blend that has made the history of this label.

Colour

Deep and impenetrable ruby from the violet rim

Bouquet

In the foreground beautiful notes of cherry, plum, mulberry, blackberry and black currant, which alternate and duet with refined hints of rhubarb, cinchona, pepper, tobacco, nutmeg and dark chocolate, intertwining with mineral nuances and undergrowth.

Flavour

Power, elegance, vibrant tannins, incomparable softness, freshness, a combination of wonderful balance and harmony, absolute master of the palate, seduced by the crispness and the incredible persistence and cleanliness of a wine of great stature.

Pairing

To combine with dishes of important structure such as rigatoni with game ragù, risotto with porcini mushrooms and sausage, baked mutton, venison saddle with wild plums, braised baked in the same wine.

Firriato
From this winery:

Firriato's strength is that it has been able to interpret, from the very beginning, the ancient Sicilian winemaking tradition in a modern key. Started in 1984 in the Trapani countryside, in Baglio Sorìa, the adventure of Salvatore Gaetano and his wif...
