Baglio Gibellina U Passimiento
A vibrant red wine with intense red fruit, a warm body, and smooth tannins, perfect with pasta
Baglio Gibellina U. Passimiento Sicily DOC, Italy, is a still red, semi-sweet wine crafted from Nero d'Avola and Frappato grapes. Frappato is harvested early for freshness, while Nero d'Avola undergoes a light withering for natural dehydration. Fermentation in steel tanks is carefully interrupted to preserve the wine's inherent sweetness. This results in a vibrant red wine with intense red fruit aromas and a warm, full-bodied palate, balanced by harmonious acidity and smooth, elegant tannins. It pairs beautifully with pasta dishes and mild cheeses. This wine is also vegan and vegetarian friendly.

Vinification
Frappato grapes are harvested as soon as they reach maturation, so that all the typical freshness remains in the must which is fermented slowly in small steel tanks. Nero d'Avola grapes are left on the vines for a light withering and for natural dehydration to occur. They are late harvested and with extreme care placed in wooden cases. After a soft pressing the musts are fermented at a controlled temperature. The natural sweetness of the wines is obtained by interrupting the fermentation by dropping the temperature until it is too cold for fermentation to continue. The wine is then matured in steel tanks.
