September 12nd, 2025 — Firriato has conquered New York. The historic Sicilian wine estate was among the leading protagonists of Sip of Italy 2025, the prestigious event organized by Wine Enthusiast that, on September 11, transformed City Winery into a stage celebrating the excellence of Italian wine. In a cosmopolitan and vibrant setting, more than 90 wineries showcased the rich diversity of Italian viticulture, with Firriato standing out for its stylistic consistency, vision, and emotional appeal.

The tasting experience curated by the winery guided the American audience on a journey through its distinctive terroirs, where scientific research intertwines with memory and sustainability emerges as a hallmark of identity and distinction. The mountain sparkling wines, Gaudensius Blanc de Noir and Gaudensius Pas Dosè, aptivated guests with their finesse and mineral tension, followed by the contrada Etna Doc wines: Contrada Zottorinotto – Balza delle Poiane 2023 and Cavanera Contrada Zucconerò Sciara del Tiglio 2021, pure expressions of a landscape that speaks through volcanic stone and altitude.

Completing the narrative were the reds Sicilia Doc Santagostino Baglio Sorìa Rosso 2020 and Ribeca 2019 — two distinctive wines that embody craftsmanship, sustainability, and refined expression in perfect balance.
The success achieved in New York confirms Firriato’s strength as an ambassador of fine wine culture and of a production model rooted in sustainability. Participation in Sip of Italy has further strengthened its ties with the North American market and renewed the conviction that authenticity is the most meaningful key to engaging with the world.
