Timeo

The Baglio di Pianetto winery after more than 20 years from its birth is now a consolidated reality in Sicilian oenology thanks to the passionate entrepreneurial activity of Count Paolo Marzotto and his family. The basic philosophy is the continuous research between tradition and innovation, with a passionate care for the raw material of excellence and respect for nature and the surrounding environment, aware that good wine is born in the vineyard rather than in the cellar. And so it’s that in the countryside of Palermo and in the Val di Noto, in two completely different and in some ways complementary terroirs, about 160 hectares of vineyards converted to organic are cultivated, which first conquered Sicilian drinkers and then all the rsto of the world. 50% of Baglio di Pianetto’s production is directed abroad between the United States, Japan, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Russia, France, Norway, the Czech Republic, Canada and being consolidated in many other countries, thanks to the most genuine and authentic expression of the land of Sicily.

The Grillo grapes that give life to Timaeus are doubly selected, a first time at the harvest and then in the cellar by means of sorting belts. After which they are de-stemmed and sent to a soft pressing, and the musts ferment in small steel tanks, taking advantage of the natural force of gravity generated by the structure at the cellar levels. Each collection corresponds to a separate fermentation, which guarantees a complex and varied bouquet faithful to the character of Pianetto. Finally the wine ages on the lees for 6 months in steel tanks before being bottled.
