Together, they have developed their winery into one of the largest producers and one of the most highly regarded wineries in Sicily. At six locations in the west of the island, the winery cultivates various grape varieties on approximately 300 hectares of vineyards consisting of tuff and red sand. Of the approximately 4.25 million bottles produced annually, well over three-quarters are exported to more than 30 countries worldwide. The Nero d\u0026#39;Avola and Grillo grape varieties predominate in Firriato\u0026#39;s vineyards. In addition to these, varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, and Syrah are also cultivated and processed into high-quality wines.
