The Pianoro Cuddìa Estate, situated at the heart of the Trapani countryside, is characterised by the compact clay of its soil that complicates vine cultivation; they are extreme soils because they are rich in sodium.
Manually harvest, Perricone has low yield and the difficulty in identifying the most suitable agronomic techniques for its growth, limit Perricone’s cultivation almost exclusively to the Trapani agricultural area. It is a difficult vine to read, both agronomically and oenologically. Firriato has interpreted Perricone by selecting from old vineyards scattered across the historical areas of its production, plants with the loosest bunches and smallest grapes.
