Terre Siciliane IGT L'Ecrù 2020 Firriato

The Terre Siciliane Ecrù by Firriato was born in the vineyards of the Borgo Guarini estate, located in the Trapani municipality of Agro, in Sicily.

It is obtained from pure Zibibbo grapes, harvested and selected only by hand in the first ten days of September. The ripest and therefore sweeter bunches are placed to dry on the racks, while the remainder remains on the plant to be harvested in the best period of the late harvest. After drying, the grapes are separated from the stalk and infused into the wine produced by the second harvest, the late one. The infusion can be longer or shorter depending on the year. The wine is aged in the bottle for 6 months before being put on the market.

Ecrù has a golden yellow colour turning to amber. The nose is intense and opens with aromas of honey, candied orange peel, dried figs, dates and peach in syrup, in addition to pleasant flavours of aromatic herbs such as lemongrass, sage or marjoram. The taste is sweet, well balanced by savoury notes. Long persistence.

The wine goes very well with dry pastries, pies with custard and fresh fruit or creamy ricotta desserts.
