The Quater Vitis is a blend of four Sicilian white grapes: Catarratto, Inzolia, Carricante and Zibibbo. The wine is not particularly fragrant (despite the Zibibbo component) with broad and tightly wound aromas of citrus, white rose and crushed pine nut. There are some very mild notes of Sicilian herbs such as dried oregano and aniseed. The wine offers mild acidity and some richness on the close. This vintage is a bit weaker and shorter in my view.
A lively, light-bodied white, fragrant with orange blossom and candied kumquat aromas and flavors, as well as notes of melon, Thai basil and nectarine. Features a moderate finish. Cataratto, Zibibbo, Inzolia and Carricante. Cataratto, Zibibbo, Inzolia and Carricante. Drink now.
This wine is the brainchild of Firriato. The desire to give its many fans the opportunity to taste all of Sicily in a single glass. Quater Vitis, in fact, is a wonderful blend of four indigenous grape varieties, grown in different areas of the island, where each grape has the opportunity to give its best and express its full potential. Catarratto brings fruity and complex aromas, accentuated by the aromatic characteristics of Zibibbo. The elegance of Inzolia comes to their aid completed by the minerality of Carricante, which originates on Etna at an altitude of almost 700 meters above sea level in the Cavanera Estate. The result of this perfect synthesis is a wine characterized by a beautiful bright straw yellow colour, with marked greenish hints. The nose reveals a fine and complex bouquet, with fruity sensations reminiscent of medlar, orange, pineapple and mango, and floral sensations of orange blossom, elder and lime, but also lavender, thyme, ginger and flint. Hard to get bored. Each time you bring the glass closer to your nose you discover a slightly different nuance. It only takes a few minutes of contact with oxygen to discover a new nuance. In the mouth, finally, it is soft and gentle, well supported by a pleasant and vibrant acidity.
Among the most representative wineries of Sicily there is undoubtedly Firriato. Modern in concept, style and marketing, Firriato is the brainchild of a visionary entrepreneur from Trapani, Salvatore Di Gaetano, who has always been supported by his charming wife Vinzia, who for years has also represented the public image of the winery in the world. We are in the 80s and Sicilian wine is about to live its golden age, its renaissance, as someone wrote in the past. Today, after almost 40 years, the Firriato winery is a solid reality, based in Paceco, between Trapani and Erice, and with vineyards scattered in different areas of Sicily. The hectares of vines owned are in fact about 320, divided into seven different estates, including one on the slopes of Etna and one on the island of Favignana. If in the countryside the most rigorous respect for nature reigns, in the cellar technology helps oenologists to make the most of each variety processed, whether native or international. The result is wines that are awarded by critics around the world and sought after by wine lovers year after year.
