Ribeca Firriato
The wine is a joyful blend of the vigorous and exuberant Nero d’Avola and the rare but decisive Perricone. The colour is a deep and intense ruby, and the seductive perfume is of exquisite red fruits, spices and summer woodlands. The taste is afascinating, rich and warm with soft and delicate tannins.
