Why choose it
Ribeca is the result of decades of work to recover the Perricone grape variety, from which Firriato has selected its own clone. The winery believed in the qualities of this traditional Sicilian grape variety, which it cultivates in the Trapani countryside. This area has very dry and windy soil and climate conditions, providing the ideal environment for Perricone to express its character. Firriato's clone interprets the varietal characteristics of a grape variety that was once widespread but has now almost disappeared. The character of this variety is expressed with remarkable elegance, while the microclimate of this area favors the aromatic complexity of the grapes and the concentration of intense but extremely refined aromas.
