Wonderful authentic experience in beautiful setting
The Estate belonged to the famous Florio family and there is a lot of history around it. The actual tasting took place at the terrace with the view of the islands, The snacks on offer were delicious and we had a wonderful time enjoying the wines.
All wines were very nice, especially the Flamingo rose. We ended up buying 3 bottles of it and 2 bottles of the white wine.
There was no welcome greeting - after buzzing at the door we walked in and wandered around for 15 minutes, Nobody said hello or checked us in, the staff just looked at us and continued with their chores. On a hot summer day a welcome glass of water would have been nice on arrival.

una giornata piacevole di settembre in cantina
come dicevo tutto impeccabile l’unica cosa che vorrei suggerire é di prevedere delle chiavi nei bagni perché non c’erano

Degustazione presso Donna Franca
Torneremo sicuramente, per un soggiorno immerso tra i vigneti, magari in un weekend, per staccare dalla frenetica routine.

About Winery and Wines
Baglio Donna Franca is the heart of sicilian vineyards, the symbol of our project to rediscover and enhance our history and culture. The term baglio comes from the Arabic "bahal", which means courtyard and refers to original architectural expressions articulated around a tower with specific defensive needs. The structure is an oasis of peace between vast expanses of vineyards. Originally belonged to the Florio family, the Baglio is now home to an exclusive Wine Resort equipped with various types of rooms, a restaurant, a beautiful swimming pool among the vineyards and an impressive cellar The winery is led by the owner himself, Giacomo Ansaldi that is not only a well-known enologist, but also a researcher of the Sicilian history in winemaking and of the Sicilian identity. He's the person that takes care of the vineyards employed for the production of three organic wines. Baglio Donnafranca's refined winery is the part of the building where the bottling and wine tasting can be experienced in the same environment. This is the “heart” of the Relais, where guests can admire the modern and efficient machinery as well as the wine cellar where the oak barrels reside. The philosophy of the production process is to respect the “terroir” and the intrinsic characteristics of the grapes. What sets the wines apart is that they are not defined by a specific variety, but related to the uniqueness of the place where they are cultivated: the final result of a complex wine experience lived to the fullest. The Ansaldi Winery is a fine example of the importance and long history of the territory’s tradition of winemaking. Visiting the winery is equivalent to taking a voyage through a true museum of wine. Visiting wine lovers can enjoy wine tours to discover the cultural values of the territory, wine tastings of organic wines, including the special Perpetuo wine, participate in Sicilian cooking classes and food pairings.
We produce 6 organic wines obtained from native grapes: Grillo, Zibibbo, Nero d'Avola, Perricone They include two grand cru wines, Abbadessa and Cipponeri, and two premier cru wines, Rosso di Cipponeri and Bianco di Abbadessa. One late harvest and one sparkling wines are also produced: Aruta Passito, a sweet wine made from 100% Zibibbo and Ansaldi brut made from Grillo grapes using the classic method.
