Information About Firriato

Firriato, a family-run business In the early 1980’s Salvatore Di Gaetano’s passion for wine drew him to a unique place: Contrada Firriato in the extraordinary countryside outside the city of Trapani. It is a land, which bears the deep and indelible signs of wine-growing and the culture of wine, nestled between Trapani’s marvelous sea and coastline and the majestic rock on which the town of Erice stands. In the meantime she has become its most genuine epitome. The spontaneity and communicative naturalness of this ‘Lady of Sicilian wine-making’ have become a precious resource capable of being an added value and drawing attention, curiosity and respect. Vinzia Di Gaetano is one and all with the winery in running the estates and not just simply managing communications. She believes that in order to convey the firm’s essence you need to live it, have a thorough knowledge of it, and calling all those participating in the Firriato project by name, from the vineyard to the wine cellar. 1998 marks the beginning of the extraordinary bond between Vinzia Novara Di Gaetano and FIRRIATO. Her face is behind all the labels that her husband Salvatore creates. The images she chooses tell that FIRRIATO has a soul, a color and a vision and that these elements match perfectly with a land, which is truly extraordinary for its beauty and generosity.
