Ramione

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.

It was Baron Antonio Palizzolo di Ramione who started viticulture in Pianetto, and it’s to him that this full-bodied and structured red is dedicated which concentrates in a single essence two different vines for origin such as Nero d’Avola and Merlot. The vinification after the harvest of the grapes, the destemming and the soft pressing, takes place for successive punching down and pumping over at controlled temperature. The wine then ages in French oak barriques for 12 months, and in bottle for a further 24 months.
