Firriato “Saint German” Spumante Brut – Country: Italy – Capacity: 0.75 Firriato Bubbles, the good ones, in Italy are no longer the prerogative only of the historic regions, Piedmont, Lombardy and Veneto. Today, on the contrary, the bubbles that are most popular are those that have a touch of personality, usually given by the processing of indigenous grape varieties. As in this case. Saint Germain, in fact, is a Brut sparkling wine, proposed here by Firriato, which is the result of the encounter between Catarratto and Grillo. These two indigenous white grape varieties have contributed to the oenological success of Sicily. The curious name recalls 18th-century France, although this bubbly has decidedly Italian origins. In fact, it was born in the fertile lands of the Trapani countryside, in Borgo Guarini, a unique agricultural context. Freshness and minerality come together in harmony thanks to the sparkling process using the Martinotti method, in an autoclave, which succeeds in enhancing the rich aromatic notes of the two starting varietals. Brio and very pleasant drinkability for a bubbly that, we are ready to bet, will certainly not make us regret having gone on the safe side by choosing a traditional sparkling wine. To appreciate it at its best, let’s uncork it nice and chilled, already at aperitif time. On the table, let’s pair it with mouth-watering dishes such as the traditional fried fish dish.
