What type of wine it is

Terre Siciliane Nero d'Avola by Baglio di Grìsi is a Sicilian red wine made from pure Nero d'Avola. Fermentation in temperature-controlled steel vats and subsequent aging in wood create an intense and structured style, with a fruity and spicy profile and a pleasant finish.

Where it comes from

Produced in Grisì, a hamlet of Monreale in the province of Palermo, Western Sicily. The mention of Terre Siciliane connects the wine to a broad regional context, while the local origin of Grisì provides a precise point of territorial recognition. The result is a straightforward expression of Nero d'Avola grown and vinified in the area.

How it is produced

The Nero d'Avola grapes are hand-picked and selected around mid-September. After destemming, fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks for 8–12 days at 24/28°C, with selected yeasts and frequent pump-overs to manage extraction. The wine then completes the process by aging in wood.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it appears a deep ruby red. On the nose, ripe red fruit with prominent cherry and spicy notes are perceived. The palate is intense and structured, consistent with the aromatic profile, and closes with a pleasant and orderly finish, designed to offer a well-defined, balanced drinking experience.

Food pairings

It pairs naturally with red meat dishes, where intensity and structure complement robust cooking methods and succulent preparations. It is also well suited to semi-mature cheeses, as it supports savory flavors and moderate aging. It's a reliable table choice when looking for a red wine with good presence.

When to serve

Perfect for when you desire an intense and structured red, ideal for lunches and dinners focused on meat and cheeses. Fermentation in steel and aging in wood maintain a clear and direct profile, with a pleasant finish that goes well with an entire meal, whether in informal settings or more refined occasions.
