Grillo

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 Baglio di Pianetto is a white wine made from organic grapes grown on the Pianetto estate in Santa Cristina on medium-textured clay soils rich in minerals at about 650 meters above sea level. After the harvest and a careful selection of the bunches, the grapes are softly pressed and fermented in steel silos where they remain on the lees for three months.

The Grillo Baglio di Pianetto has a straw yellow color with greenish reflections and a citrus nose reminiscent of orange blossom lemons and Mediterranean scrub. The palate is broad with good minerality and flavor with a finish that closes the drink well.
