Baglio Gibellina U Passimiento
Bright intense red fruit on the nose displaying lots of red berries. The palate is warm and full-bodied with harmonious acidity and smooth and elegant tannins. This wine from Baglio Gibellina in Sicily has been a roaring success over the past several years.
Frappato grapes are harvested as soon as they reach maturation, so that all the typical freshness remains in the must which is fermented slowly in small steel tanks. Nero d’Avola grapes are left on the vines for a light withering and for natural dehydration to occur. They are late harvested and with extreme care placed in wooden cases. After a soft pressing the musts are fermented at a controlled temperature. The natural sweetness of the wines is obtained by interrupting the fermentation by dropping the temperature until it is too cold for fermentation to continue. The wine is then matured in steel tanks.

This is a lovely, smoith red wine, that after drinking in a restuarant I wanted to buy some for home, Cheers was the best supplier of this wine. The delivery was quick and really well packaged, there is no chance of any damage to the wine!

The red the wine rack needs
One of our favourite reds goes with so many dishes, or on its own.
Superb quaffing wine so smooth
Found this wine in a restaurant a while ago and have now tracked down a supplier. Drink on own or with meal. Rich but not too heavy. I like Grenache Syrah and Tempranillo and this is a gorgeous wine.
