Description
What kind of wine it is
Fermata 125 Etna Rosso is an organic wine from Baglio di Pianetto that expresses the authentic character of the Sicilian volcano through the Nerello Mascalese grape variety. Its aromatic profile is distinguished by notes of wild strawberries, intertwined with elegant spicy nuances. On the palate, it offers a savoury and harmonious taste, characterised by silky tannins that ensure a long-lasting finish. It pairs beautifully with grilled meats, couscous and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Contrada Bonanno, near Passopisciaro in the municipality of Castiglione di Sicilia. The vines benefit from a high altitude, between seven hundred and fifty and eight hundred metres, which ensures optimal ripening. The roots delve into volcanic sandy soils, a vital element that imparts savouriness and a typical pale ruby colour to the wine. The unique terroir of Etna enhances and preserves the varietal freshness of the grapes.
How it is produced
The production cycle begins in October with a rigorous manual harvest. Vinification continues with fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature for about ten days, preserving the clarity of the original aromas. The structure develops thanks to maturation in large barrels for twelve months, which gives the wine balance and elegance. A final rest in stainless steel tanks blends the flavours, ensuring a long and clean finish on the palate.
History and Curiosities
Born in the evocative Contrada Bonanno, Fermata 125 Etna Rosso DOC expresses the authentic soul of the volcano. The vines grow between 750 and 800 metres on sandy volcanic soils, giving the Nerello Mascalese a distinctive identity. After a careful manual harvest, 12 months of maturation in a large barrel refines its structure, making the tannins silky. Baglio di Pianetto, led by oenologist Mattia Filippi, signs off on an organic and sustainable excellence that celebrates the richness of the Sicilian territory, offering an elegant and rewarding tasting experience.

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.
