What wine is Sicilia Rosso DOC 'Syrah in Purezza' 2023 - Baglio di Pianetto

The Sicilia Rosso DOC 'Syrah in Purezza' 2023 - Baglio di Pianetto is a label that tells the most authentic soul of the island. Made exclusively from Syrah grapes, this red wine stands out for its intense and harmonious character. The vineyards from which it originates are located over 700 meters above sea level, on primarily clayey soils which give the wine structure and depth. It is a red that combines elegance and drinkability, perfect for those looking for a terroir wine with an excellent balance between freshness, body, and aromas.

Vintage Details

The 2023 vintage was distinguished by a balanced climatic trend, with good temperature variations between day and night that favored a slow and constant ripening of the grapes. This allowed for a particularly aromatic Syrah, with a clear fruity texture and mature, velvety tannins.

Vinification and Aging

The grapes are harvested manually at the right stage of ripeness, to best preserve their characteristics. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, while maceration on the skins—the phase in which color and aromas are extracted—is managed delicately to respect the natural elegance of Syrah. After fermentation, the wine ages in stainless steel for several months, thus maintaining freshness and aromatic purity, before a short rest in the bottle which harmonizes its aromas.
