Firriato's entry white blends the native almond-citrus character of Catarratto with Chardonnay's stone-fruit roundness in a clean, everyday Sicilian white from the Trapani estate.

What it pairs with

  • Linguine alle vongole
    Clean high acidity and citrus-mineral notes are the classic white for clam pasta.
  • Grilled sea bass
    A versatile everyday white for Mediterranean grilled fish.
  • Mixed vegetable antipasto
    Fresh and clean: the ideal house white for a varied vegetable starter.
