Terre della Baronia Bianco NV

In a unique and inimitable terroir, at 400 m. above sea level, in the heart of Sicily, are the 75 hectares of vineyards owned by the Milazzo family, where the climatic characteristics of the hill and the morphology of the land combine with the beneficial influences of a typically Mediterranean climate, with mild summers and mild winters; a constant and light breeze, which favors the day-night temperature range and good ventilation of the plant. A territory characterized by a particular concentration of morphologically varied soils: from dark clays integrated by organic matter to white calcareous ones; some endowed with a constant and homogeneous fertility, the others ideal for guaranteeing rich and complex aromatic profiles to the wines. With a history that spans five generations and continues in the name of the enhancement of the company tradition, thanks to the commitment of Giuseppina Milazzo and Saverio Lo Leggio, united in the desire to give continuity to the virtuous evolution of the family business, the most interesting aspect of the way of “making wine” is represented by tireless work in the vineyard. The natural improvement of the vines is the result of a technical path that has been going on for over fifty years, which made them the first producers of sparkling wines with the classic method in the land of Sicily, and the first Sicilian winemakers, between the end of the seventies and the beginning of the eighties, to enhance the vinification from Sicilian indigenous vines. Organic and sustainable. The BIO certification seals the commitment they have always put in place as winegrowers to produce quality and is also testimony to the responsibility they feel they are guardians of the environment in which they operate, with the specific intent of producing a great Sicilian Classic Method sparkling wine. .

Terre della Baronia Bianco G.Milazzo is a wine that gives aromas of ripe tropical fruit rich in nuances, with greater verticality and an evident acidic backbone. The grapes, raised with the Guyot training system, were harvested from Garcitella Alta vineyards over 15 years old, on a high plateau soil of marly origin with a high clayey component strongly calcareous, in the first half of September, manually, in boxes of 14kg, with a yield per hectare of 14q. The grapes are vinified in the absence of oxygen and aged in steel for about 4 months. Final refinement in the bottle

Terre della Baronia Bianco G.Milazzo is a white with a beautiful intense straw yellow color with green reflections. On the nose evident notes of white fruit, ripe pear and white melon, closes with a complex finish where an aromatic vegetable spice emerges that is very reminiscent of lemon balm. On the palate it shows an important structure, enhanced by a nice acidic note that supports the gustatory persistence.
