Description
What kind of wine is it
Grillo by Baglio di Pianetto is an organic white wine that expresses the authenticity of its place of origin. Within the Sicilia denomination, it presents an intense aromatic profile characterised by tropical and citrus notes. Hints of mandarin, mango, pineapple and papaya intertwine harmoniously with nuances of heather flowers. On the palate, it is dry and crisp, supported by a balanced structure and well-integrated acidity, offering a savoury and vibrant sip that provides an immediate interpretation of the grape variety.
Where does it come from
The grapes are grown in Contrada Pianetto, in the municipality of Santa Cristina Gela. The vineyards are situated at seven hundred metres above sea level, in a mountainous setting characterised by a significant diurnal temperature range, essential for preserving the freshness and aromatic definition of the grapes. The vines sink their roots into medium-textured soils, enriched with clay veins. This specific geological composition ensures a marked mineral drive that defines the wine's dynamic character and pleasant drinkability.
How is it produced
Production follows sustainable methods, starting with Grillo grapes grown organically and selected through manual harvesting. The wine is part of the In Purezza range, created by Baglio di Pianetto to enhance the identity of the grape variety. Thanks to the supervision of oenologist Graziana Grassini, the work in the cellar aims to achieve high expressive precision.
History and Curiosities
The Baglio di Pianetto Grillo originates in Santa Cristina Gela, from vineyards located at an altitude of 700 metres that benefit from a marked temperature range. Part of the exclusive single-varietal line “In Purezza”, this organic white wine Sicilia DOC is the result of manual harvesting and a production philosophy strictly focused on sustainability. Thanks to the prestigious collaboration with oenologist Graziana Grassini, the vocation of the Palermo mountain terroir is enhanced, offering an authentic tasting experience characterised by minerality and freshness.

Once he got to that age the boy, now a young man, opened the bottle: the wine, however, had partly evaporated. That young man, Count Paolo Marzotto, was not able to drink the wine he waited so long for, but the particular transformation it had undergone made him want to know more about what had happened. In short, he began researching the art of winemaking. This research, a successful research at that, has taken him to regions such as Veneto, Tuscany, Alto Adige, Lombardy, and in 1997 back to Sicily, to Baglio di Pianetto, in the countryside near Palermo. An area that, with its abundance of green hills, rocky outcrops and water, he would affectionately describe as a "little Switzerland".
Here is where Count Paolo fulfilled his dream of producing a wine able to express this unique terroir through the particular savoir faire learned from the great French chateaux, so that the vineyard of Tenuta Baroni, located between Noto e Pachino, acquired in’98, has become the perfect place to develop his autochthonous Nero d’Avola (il Cembali), which the Count considers to be one of his best wines, thanks to it unmistakable softness and elegance. Wishes and ideas that have become a reality thanks to his love for Sicily and his passion for wine, a love kept alive through innovative and courageous choices, renewed in the second and third generations that have stepped in to help further the founder’s vision, testifying to the historic commitment of the Marzotto family.
