BAGLIO GIBELLINA, SOGNO DEL SUD ORGANIC GRILLO, IGT, SICILY, ITALY 2019
Producer Profile
Baglio Gibellina is situated in picturesque Sicily where its vineyards are surrounded by the hills of Salemi and Santa Ninfa.
Old vineyards located between 300-600m above sea level are grown on a mixture of clay and volcanic soils with limited yields allowing for the production of outstanding wines with incredible food matching potential.
Viticulture
The vineyards are located on the hills with clay soil. The vines are cultivated with the espallier system and the pruning is Guyot.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand in the end of August and 1st week of September, and are vinified in small stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 15°C. The maturation occurs in small stainless steel tanks with battonage for the first month of refining.
Oak Treatment
No oak treatment
Tasting Note
This delightful wine is straw yellow in colour. An intense but pleasant nose with notes of exotic fruit and spice. Fresh and soft on the palate, well balanced with a persistent aftertaste.
Food Matching
Fish dishes, such as smoked salmon, tuna and swordfish, and spicy white meats.
