Baglio Gibellina, Frappato, IGT Terre Siciliane, Italy, 2023

Producer Profile
The ancient and largely unchanged land of Sicily is truly reflected in the wines of Baglio Gibellina.
‘Baglio’ refers to the property’s original internal courtyard, surrounded by a series of old warehouses that were once used for the collection and processing of grapes. Dominating its valley location, the property is flanked by the hills of Salemi and Santa Ninfa in a landscape marked by rolling vineyards punctuated by clusters of broom and prickly pear. The old vines are planted between 300 and 600m above sea level on a mixture of clay and volcanic soils, resulting in wines that encapsulate ancient family traditions, with authenticity, immense charm and an easy drinking appeal.
Viticulture
Planted on sandy soils at approximately 200 - 250 metres above sea level. Grapes are harvested at the peak of phenolic and aromatic maturity.
Winemaking
Traditional red wine maceration in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature.
Tasting Note
