Details
Light, bright, and effortlessly cool - this delicious red is all about tart red berries like pomegranate, red cherries, and redcurrant, with a sprinkle of thyme and a hint of white pepper for a little edge. There’s a subtle caramel note in the background that gives it some mellow depth without stealing the show. Super fresh and juicy as hell - this one’s made for chilling (literally) and sipping when the sun’s out. Think of it as your go-to red for warm days and good vibes!
Let us introduce you to Cantine Birgi - a laid-back legend from the sun-soaked coast of western Sicily, right near the dreamy Stagnone Lagoon. Kicking off in 1960 with just ten local farmers, it’s now a 1,000-strong crew growing grapes across nearly 3,000 hectares. They blend old-school bush vines with modern techniques, keeping it real while turning out seriously high-quality fruit year after year. Birgi’s all about showing off Sicily’s flavour-packed grapes - think Grillo, Nero d’Avola, Frappato, and Catarratto - in everything from crisp organics to silky reds and vibrant sparkling wines. They're hands-on in the vineyard and dead set on quality, and it’s paying off - six of their wines just scored wins at the 2024 Wine Hunter Awards, including a Gold for their Zibibbo. Long story short: Birgi is the real deal - rooted in tradition, buzzing with innovation, and bottling pure Sicilian soul.

Pairing guide
Frappato fans, this one’s a total vibe - bright, juicy, and packed with that effortless Sicilian charm. This wine nails the balance between freshness and flavour, making it a no-brainer for Mediterranean feasts. Think sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers, herby lamb, or a rich mushroom risotto. It’s magic with all kinds of tapas and antipasti - especially anything cured, smoky, or cheesy - and it shines with caponata, pasta loaded with bacon, or even meaty fish like swordfish or kingfish. Basically, it’s the kind of bottle that makes everything on the table taste better.

Wine region

Sicily, Italy
Sicily is a productive island located in the Mediterranean Sea, off the southern coast of Italy.
The island has a varied landscape, with low coastal plains to hills and even active volcanic mountains. The climate is Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and mild winters. Disease pressure is low thanks to drying coastal breezes making the region ideal for organic farming practices. The soils are volcanic, sandy, and clay.
Sicily can be divided into three wine regions, including the volcanic Etna DOC on the eastern side of the island, known for its red wines made from the Nerello Mascalese grape. The Marsala DOC on the island's western side is known for its fortified wines. The remaining Southeast of the Island produces a range of wines, notably Frappato and Nero d’Avola.
