BAGLIO GIBELLINA, Italy

‘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

The landscape is dotted with vineyards, olive groves, citrus trees, juniper trees and fichi d’India trees. The blue of the sky and of the sea on the horizon form the backdrop to a mixture of colours that are typically Mediterranean. The sunsets that can be witnessed from the Baglio are spectacular, during the night the mixture of lights that stretches into the distance enhances the “noise” of the silence.
