Why we like it
This fusion of Sicilian character with a French imprint gives life to a remarkably drinkable wine. It is a single varietal Cabernet Sauvignon which attests to the surprising versatility of this French vine, and, at the same time, Sicily’s natural propensity for quality viticulture. The grapes cultivated at Borgo Guarini perfectly highlight the synergy between the land and the art of winemaking, which, as ever, characterises Firriato’s wines. At the Borgo Guarini Estate in Sicily, this French variety has found a loving, adoptive home that recalls the characteristics of the soil and climate conditions of its place of origin, but in a Mediterranean vein.
