After three years maturation in 50hectolitre Slavonian oak casks it is racked and bottled.

Baglio Gibellina Passimiento
£12.60 – £75.60750ml Bottles
The selected vines, located between 300 and 600 meters above sea level, are grown on clayey soils with limited yields of grapes per hectare.

The Nero d’Avola grapes, on the other hand, are left on the vine for a slight withering and natural dehydration. They are then collected later and, with extreme care, placed in wooden boxes. After a light pressing, the must ferments at a controlled temperature.
On the nose, characteristic intense red fruit aromas. On the palate it is warm and full-bodied with harmonious acidity, smooth and elegant tannins.
