Terre della Baronia Rosso

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 Rosso G.Milazzo is a wine that elegantly brings out the sensory profile so peculiar to Nero d'Avola. The grapes, raised with the spurred cordon training system, were harvested from Munti vineyards over 15 years old, on a soil with organic and rather deep clay soil, in October, manually, with selection of the bunches on the plant, in boxes to be 14kg, with a yield of 80q per hectare. The grapes are gently de-stemmed and after a 24 / 48h pre-fermentation cold maceration is fermented in vertical steel vats for about 3 weeks with daily pumping over in the air, in order to optimize the extraction of colors and aromas from the skins, after of which it is aged for about 12 months partly in oak barriques and partly in steel with final refinement in the bottle.

Terre della Baronia Rosso G.Milazzo has an impenetrable red color. The nose is rich with sweet hints reminiscent of mulberry and black cherry. Sweet spices are reminiscent of licorice, incense and cocoa berry. On the palate it is structured with a vigorous but at the same time elegant and fragrant character, with excellent persistence.
