An authentically Sicilian sparkling wine
SAINT GERMAIN
IGT Terre Siciliane
Native white grape varieties
Saint Germain is Firriato’s Spumante Brut, which is the result of the encounter between the native white grape varieties that have contributed to Sicily’s oenological success, allowing it to establish itself on the world quality wine scene. The name recalls the France of the 1700s but it is an authentically Sicilian sparkling wine born in the fertile lands of the Trapani countryside. Saint Germain was born at Borgo Guarini in a unique agricultural setting and expresses, with Firriato’s innovative production style, all the ampelographic complexity of this patch of the Trapani countryside. Freshness and minerality blend in harmony thanks to the Martinotti method sparkling process, which enhances the aromatic and olfactory textures of the two varietals, revealing brio and very pleasant drinkability.

Production Area
Borgo Guarini
Borgo Guarini has the scent of Sicily, an enchanting location where time passes at an indefinite pace, slow like the natural changing of the seasons. Immersed in the Mediterranean scrub the Borgo bears witness to the area’s farming tradition inexorably linked to the earth.
Saint Germain
A joyous bead and vibrant pleasure
The Count of Saint Germain is cited in the memoirs of Casanova and Giuseppe Balsamo (the Count of Cagliostro). He lived his legendary life in the courts of Paris and London, from Germany to Tibet. At the time it was believed that he had discovered the secret of the philosopher’s stone and for this reason he would never age. We like to imagine we can commemorate him with a glass of Saint Germain brut in hand in the company of our loved ones, staying young, if not in age, then at least at heart.
