French elegance in a Sicilian territory

Camelot

Sicily D.O.C.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot

The elegance of the Camelot was born from the long research, which lasted more than 20 years, which Firriato has dedicated to guaranteeing the best pedoclimatic conditions for the breeding of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards of Baglio Sorìa, placed at an altitude of 120 meters above sea level, for the proximity to the Trapani coast and for the peculiarities of the terroir, contribute to defining the ideal conditions for the cultivation of the two vines. The red marls of the soils, during the hottest months, allow the ground to remain compact and not to create cracks while maintaining constant humidity in the subsoil favoring the balance between sugary and phenolic maturation more difficult in hot climates. The refinement for 12 months in French oak barrique connotes it for unparalleled aromatic and gustatory elegance.

Production area

Baglio Sorìa

The breeding of international varieties focuses in the Baglio Sorìa estate, whose terroir is characterized by the presence of mixes of clay and red marls, characteristics of the areas with greater wine vocation.

The Blend of Firriato

The exceptional combination between the humidity of the subsoil and the hottest climate, of the summer months in Sicily, promotes the elegant characteristic notes that make the pleasure of tasting the Camelot unique. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grapes, raised in the Baglio Sorìa estate, have the characteristic of a reduced content of pirazine. This peculiarity creates a natural expression that gives elegance and softness to the Camelot by limiting to the minimum, the influence thus prevalent, of vegetable notes with nuance of red pepper and tomato leaf. And it is always the terroir that determines the elegant evolutions of this Blend Bordeaux in the land of Sicily.  The relationship between microclimate and soils offers the ideal conditions for a gradual maturation of the berries that are characterized by their complete aromatic development. Camelot was born from the set of these notes characteristic as an absolute expression of the flourishing style and the desire to create authentically witnesses of the Terroir of origin.
