Sorìa Perricone is the result of a long experimental research focused on the recovery project of this minor vine belonging to the viticultural Sicilian tradition. The Perricone grapes from which Firriato produces this Sorìa Perricone, are another massal selection of Perricone owned by the winery that differs from the “Ribeca” one. This vine was accurately selected by the winery in order to experiment all the possible expressions of this vine in different Terroir and climates. This clone differs very much from the other clone growing in the Pianoro Cuddìa estate, from which Firriato obtains Ribeca. As a matter of fact, Sorìa Perricone grapes are grown within the Baglio Sorìa estate, in the hinterland of Trapani countryside. This is a hilly terroir where soils are characterised by high percentage of red marlstones and clayey texture. We are in one of the areas mostly interested by viticulture at European level, from where it is possible to obtain very particular wines able to express fresh fragrances and an immediate agreeableness.
