Description

Grillo, grown at an altitude of 700 meters above sea level, is distinguished by the unique characteristics that derive from the mountain environment in which it is cultivated. The significant elevation of the vineyard introduces a series of unique soil and climate conditions that are fundamental in the development of the organoleptic qualities of the wine.

Details

Profumo

Perfume

The intense aromatic expressiveness of the fragrance with a predominance of tropical and citrus notes reflects the grape's ability to develop a rich palette of complex aromas. The presence of fragrances such as mandarin, mango, pineapple and papaya, enriched by floral nuances of heather blossoms, underlines how the elevated growing environment positively influences the aromatic concentration and olfactory diversity of the wine.

Colore

Color

Pale straw yellow color characterized by greenish reflections that suggest freshness and vitality.

Gusto

Taste

In the mouth, the noticeable minerality and flavor, together with a distinct freshness, make the wine vibrant and dynamic.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1997
  • Oenologist: Mattia Filippi
  • Bottles produced: 750.000
  • Hectares: 108
Many years ago, a little boy (who had yet to discover who or what he would become) asked his mother to buy him a bottle of wine. They were in Sicily at the time, on a holiday, and she, of course, replied that he was much too young. But the boy kept insisting until his mother, finally, relented. She said she would buy him the bottle, as long as he promised to wait till he was seventeen years old to open it.

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.
