Baglio di Grìsi - Nero d'Avola 2020
Baglio di Grìsi is located in Grìsi, in the municipality of Monreale to the west of Sicily. The winery overlooks the valleys of the Belice and Jato rivers, known since ancient times for their mild climate and rich vegetation. The estate has belonged to the Di Lorenzo family for over a century. They succeeded in discovering the potential of this land and transforming what was a very remote rural area, originally used as pastures and for growing seed crops, into luxuriant vineyards and olive groves, radically transforming the configuration of an entire territory from an agronomic, economic and social point of view. The Di Lorenzo family has decided to focus determinedly on Sicily’s oldest native grape varieties, such as Grillo and Nero d’Avola, drawing out all their typicality and quality. Baglio di Grìsi wines are the result of a combination of research, innovation and respect for tradition. They hold organic certification and are produced using sustainable techniques and technologies, both in the vineyard and in the cellar.
This wine is made with indigenous grape variety Nero d’Avola. The bunches are harvested into crates when they have reached full maturity. The destemmed and cooled grapes are transferred to the fermentation tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place for 8-12 days. Frequent pumping over takes place during fermentation to increase the extraction of perfumes and colour. The wine obtained is then aged in wood.
Grape variety: 100% Nero d’Avola
