Description
The first white wine produced in Pianetto, 'Ficiligno', fully expresses the quintessence of the land on which it is grown. A wine with an intense and persistent bouquet that takes its name from a local stone, a characteristic element in the regional landscape. Fascinated by the particular conformation of the land conferred by these stones, Count Paolo Marzotto sensed the strong mineral potential of the soil, capable of imparting freshness to the white wine.

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.

| Story | 'Ficiligno' is the characteristic soil of the Pianetto estate. |
| Origin | Village of Pianetto, Town of Santa Cristina Gela (Palermo). |
| Soil composition | Medium-textured tending to clayey, rich in skeleton and minerals. |
| Cultivation system | Espalier. |
| Plants per hectare | 4,830 |
| Yield per hectare | 9,000 kg/hectare. |
| Harvest | By hand, between August and September, in three different times, to create three bases: acidic, technical ripeness and over-ripening, and bring out the exotic and voluptuous notes of the Viognier. |
| Wine making | The grapes, harvested by hand in crates, are immediately transported to the winery and, after further sorting, are destemmed and cold-crushed to allow maceration in the press. Fermentation of the individual batches takes place separately and is deferred in time for the different harvest periods. Each one lasts more or less 20 days in stainless steel tanks, where maturation is extended for 4 months at a controlled temperature, thus favouring natural decantation of the fermentation waste. |
| Aging | 6 months on the lees in stainless steel tanks. |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
