The “Quater Vitis” made by Firriato comes from a blend where each of the four varieties present, Inzolia, Carricante, Catarratto, and Zibibbo, contributes to the final blend in equal measure. The vines grow in a soil characterized by a calcareous and clayey subsoil, at about 200-250 meters above sea level, within the Agro of Trapani. The grapes undergo a soft pressing, and the must ferments in steel tanks for a total of about 20 days. The wine then matures for 6 months in steel, until the winery deems it ready to be bottled and marketed.
The “Quater Vitis” White produced by the winery Firriato presents itself visually with a straw yellow color, possessing a particularly bright light.

On the palate, it is light-bodied tending towards medium, with a precise and clean sip that envelops the palate thanks to a fresh imprint, from which a fruity taste emerges. A bottle that, confirming itself vintage after vintage with scores that are nothing short of interesting, is capable of aging in the bottle for the next two or three years, reserving excellent surprises.
