Description
A white wine endowed with great freshness that enhances the distinctive aromatic linearity of the varietal selection of indigenous grapes from which it is made: Baglio di Pianetto thus embraces the Monreale DOC, with a wine with a strong and recognisable identity. The name and label recall the Norman town of the same name a few kilometres from Palermo, the cathedral and its magnificent cloister. If the aromas are persuasive, with notes of citrus and white orange blossom, the taste is full-bodied and vibrant, with a lively mineral note.

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.

Harvest | By hand, in August and September. The grapes are harvested manually in boxes, for a first selection, at three different harvest times: the first early in technological pre-ripeness to ensure greater acid concentration, the second at full phenolic ripeness in maximum varietal expression, and the third late in controlled over-ripening to impart the soft, aromatic notes typical of the varietal. |
