Über das Weingut und die Weine

Baglio di Pianetto stems from the desire of its founder to create a wine that celebrates the uniqueness of the Sicilian terroir through the savoir faire of the great French chateaux. A challenge born out of the love for the land and its fruits which since 1997 has pushed Count Paolo Marzotto and his family to innovative and daring choices, in full respect of territorial identity. Today, the second and third generation alongside the founder in this endeavor with the same devotion and the same enthusiasm.

Baglio di Pianetto vinifies its grapes in the same area where they are grown. Both in the Pianetto Estate near Palermo and in Contrada Baroni in Val di Noto, the freshly harvested grapes are immediately brought to the cellars where they are destemmed, pressed and vinified. In Pianetto, the cellar has been designed to meet an essential principle of the production philosophy envisioned by Count Paolo Marzotto: protecting the integrity of the fruit and optimizing all available natural resources. It is a high-rise cellar, which uses gravity to drastically reduce the use of pumps for the movement of musts and wines. Temperature regulation in the processing areas is achieved using the natural insulation provided by the rock and earth strata that surround the underground storeys. In the depths of the hill - at 32 meters below ground – are located the barrique and bottle cellars. High technological control ensures the monitoring of every step of the winemaking process, minimizing the need for corrective action.
