Baglio Gibellina U Passimiento
Our biggest selling Red wine for the last three years. You simply have to try it to see why!
Bright intense red fruit on the nose displaying lots of red berries. The palate is warm and full-bodied with harmonious acidity and smooth and elegant tannins. This wine from Baglio Gibellina in Sicily has been a roaring success over the past several years.
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.

Top notch wine in the ripasso style
This is well worth a look if you like wines made in the ripasso style. Top notch wine and excellent service from Cheers Wine Merchants.
United KingdomNow on subscription!
We've had this wine so many times, we signed up to the subscription service. My other half adores this wine. It's rich and fruity without being a headbanger, but seductive is the word I'd use, a firm favourite!
