The Baglio Gibellina Passimiento knows how to soak up the wonderful Italian sun. The vineyards where the Nero d'Avola and Frappato grapes grow are situated at an altitude of between 600 and 800 meters above sea level. At this altitude, the grapes receive everything they need: plenty of sunshine and a refreshing sea breeze to balance it out. The clayey soil allows the roots to grow deep and absorb sufficient moisture, even during the hot summers. The harvest of this wine is done entirely by hand. First, the Frappato grapes are harvested and pressed. Conversely, the Nero d'Avola grapes are left on the vines, and the branches are then cut off. This deprives the grapes of nutrients and allows them to slowly dry in the sun. Once they are sufficiently dried, these bunches are also picked. The Baglio Gibellina Passimiento matures in the bottle for several months before it can be enjoyed. This gives it a unique character and complexity.
This Baglio Gibellina wine bears the name Passimiento, named after the technique used to dry the grapes. A precise process carried out entirely by hand. It's clear that a great deal of care has been put into this Baglio Gibellina Passimiento. This is immediately apparent upon pouring. The aroma is infused with ripe fruit, with notes of red berries, cherries, and blackberries, as well as subtle hints of chocolate, plums, and fresh jam. The palate is very soft, a warm bed of black fruit, small berries, stewed plums, and a distinct freshness of pomegranate. The finish reveals soft tannins and a long, ripe palate. With every sip of this Baglio Gibellina Passimiento, you'll experience the meticulous attention and dedication that has gone into its making. Let yourself be seduced by the soft and refined flavors and enjoy a delightful wine experience that will tantalize your taste buds.
