Viognier Baglio di Pianetto

The Baglio di Pianetto winery, after more than 20 years since its birth, is now a consolidated reality of 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 meticulous care for the excellent raw material and respect for nature and the surrounding environment, aware that good wine is born in the vineyard rather than in the cellar. And this is how in the countryside of Palermo and in the Val di Noto, in two completely different and in some ways complementary terroirs, the approximately 160 hectares of vineyards converted to organic are cultivated, which have conquered first the Sicilian drinkers and then the rest of the world. The production of Baglio di Pianetto is 50% directed abroad between the United States, Japan, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, Russia, France, Norway, Czech Republic, Canada and in the process of consolidating in many other countries, strong in the most genuine and authentic expression of the land of Sicily.

Viognier di Baglio di Pianetto is a fascinating and distinctive expression of this aromatic grape variety, deeply rooted in the unique terroir of Sicily. Its identity is shaped by a combination of factors, ranging from the privileged geographical position of the vineyards to meticulous winemaking practices. The Viognier di Baglio di Pianetto vineyards are located on the Tenuta di Pianetto estate, located at an altitude of approximately 700 meters above sea level, in the heart of Sicily. This elevated position gives the wine a unique freshness and minerality, which distinguishes it from other Viogniers produced in warmer climates. The mineral-rich clay-limestone soil contributes to the wine's aromatic complexity, while the Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, rainy winters, favors optimal ripening of the grapes. The production of Viognier di Baglio di Pianetto is an artisanal process, which begins with the manual harvest and careful selection of the bunches. The soft pressing of the grapes allows only the free-run must to be extracted, preserving the purity of the aromas. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, to enhance the varietal characteristics of Viognier. The aging in stainless steel, followed by a period of aging in the bottle, completes the process, giving the wine a balanced structure and a notable aromatic persistence.

The Viognier of Baglio di Pianetto has a bright straw yellow color, which anticipates its freshness and vitality. On the nose, it opens with an intense and complex bouquet, where the notes of yellow-fleshed fruit, such as peach and apricot, blend with delicate hints of white flowers, such as broom and jasmine, and sweet spices. On the palate, the wine is dry, fresh and mineral, with a good structure and an aromatic persistence that invites a second sip. Thanks to its freshness and aromatic complexity, the Viognier of Baglio di Pianetto pairs perfectly with a variety of Mediterranean dishes. It is an excellent companion for fish appetizers, shellfish and seafood, light first courses, such as mushroom risotto or pasta with vegetables, and second courses of baked or grilled fish. It also goes well with fresh and soft cheeses.
