Baglio Soria

Baglio Sorìa’s old seventeenth-century building is one with the agricultural estate. Situated halfway along the coast, on the hillside which overlooks this enchanting landscape, Baglio Sorìa is a perfect example of the traditional Sicilian architecture common in the most western part of Sicily. Baglios were places of work and habitation for rural communities. They were a point of reference for men and women who shared, generation after generation, a way of Sicilian life and a particular Sicilian experience. The original building consisted of the main house, storehouses, craft workshops for craft making, and some living spaces for farm workers.

Walking among the vineyards, Trapani appears together with a panorama of rare beauty: the blue sea on the horizon blends with the green hillside landscape formed of vineyards and century-old olive trees. It is one of the most magical regions of Sicilian wine country, where the cultivation of vines over hundreds of years has meant that the area has become an important wine-making territory. Our great family dream started here on this agricultural estate during the 1980s. The vineyards of Baglio Sorìa integrate harmoniously into a landscape where plant and animal life reign supreme. The constant wind blowing through the vineyards carries the benefit of the Mediterranean marine breeze inland, while the sunshine helps give the vines the right levels of polyphenols. Baglio Soria is a natural terrace bathed in sunshine where it is possible to appreciate how powerful a vision of a natural and harmonious landscape can be. The beating heart of our production is here, in vineyards planted with Nero d’Avola, Catarratto, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Chardonnay and Syrah: local and international vine varieties which grow side by side in a single agricultural area. They fully express the Firriato philosophy: to value the uniqueness which every single vine gives simply because it is grown and produces fruit in this area.
