Harmonium Terre Siciliane IGT

Terroir and wine-making

From the grapes of a complex grape variety such as Nero d'Avola, Firriato has created Harmonium, a wine result of 15 years of analysis and micro-vinification that had the objective of identifying the best crus to create the perfect wine. Three different crus, of the Lepre, Ferla and Beccaccia, were chosen from the 165 hectares cultivated in Borgo Guarini. Here, the different soil orders and the particular pedoclimatic characteristics give uniqueness to the selected Nero d'Avola grapes. The vinification takes place separately for each grape, so every year there are slight variations in the blend. Continuous sensory analysis serves to achieve the perfect balance of an elegant, powerful wine worthy to be inserted among the great Sicilian red wines.

Notes of taste

Wine with a great personality, the Nero d'Avola Harmonium is authentically elegant. Its deep ruby red colour immediately reveals its strong character. Enchanting fragrances of ripe cherries, plums and blackberries combine with hints of nutmeg, rhubarb, pepper and dark chocolate. On the palate, it is intensely full-bodied and fresh: its enchanting softness gives way to a balanced tannic.

Wine at the table

The undisputed star of convivial occasions, the Harmonium prefers combinations with savory red meat seconds, wet or grilled. Also the game dishes and aged cheeses are enhanced in his company.

Curiosity

The Harmonium of Firriato is considered a symbol of modern and quality Sicilian enology. Its characteristics are particularly appreciated by the expert juries, so much so that the wine has received several important awards. To name a few: 5 Grappoli Bibenda, 91 points James Suckling, 90 points Wine Spectator, Three Glasses Gambero Rosso.
