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.

| Soil composition | The vines from which these grapes originate are grown in soils with different compositions, ranging from medium-textured and silty to clay soil. |
| Wine making | Vinification of Viafrancia Bianco begins by harvesting the grapes by hand; this is followed by a short resting phase in a cold room. The grapes are then gently pressed at low temperatures in an oxygen-free environment to preserve their aromatic integrity. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in a controlled manner, partly in steel tanks and partly in first and second passage French oak barrels. This choice lets us obtain the perfect aromatic harmony and gustatory complexity, preserving the freshness and purity of the aromas. |
| Aging | After fermentation, the wine ages on fine lees for a period of at least 9 months, enriching the taste and consistency. Subsequently, the blending phase takes place, where the best bases are selected to create the final blend, which is aged in steel tanks for approximately 3 months before being bottled and left to rest in the bottle until the perfect balance is achieved. |
