U...Passimiento DOC - Baglio Gibellina

The U...Passimiento from Baglio Gibellina comes into the glass with a bright dark red color and immediately reveals all the sun-drenched ripeness that is characteristic of Sicilian wines. On the nose, the U...Passimiento reveals characterful, powerful notes of red and black berries, especially blackberries and blackcurrants. Balsamic notes, delicate floral nuances and dried fruits such as dates and prunes round off the bouquet of Baglio Gibellina's U...Passimiento perfectly.

On the palate, Baglio Gibellina's U...Passimiento is wonderfully warm, full and harmonious. The soft, elegant tannins are perfectly integrated, while the lush residual sweetness is offset by a harmonious, fruity-fresh acidity. The freshness of the Frappato and the intensity of the Nero d'Avola ensure perfect harmony in this wine.

Vinification of the U...Passimiento from Baglio Gibellina

For this top red wine cuvée from Sicily, both grape varieties (70% Nero d'Avola, 30% Frappato) are harvested and fermented at the optimum time of perfect ripeness. After a particularly slow fermentation, the must matures in stainless steel tanks.
The Nero d'Avola grapes for the U...Passimiento are left to hang on the vines for a particularly long time at Baglio Gibellina until a large proportion of the water contained in the berries has evaporated naturally. They are then carefully harvested into small wooden crates and, after careful pressing, fermented at controlled temperatures. The fermentation process of the U...Passimiento is interrupted early, as is usual for wines of this type, so that the sweetness of the wines is retained. The wine then matures for a few months in steel tanks.
