What kind of wine is Sicilia Rosso DOC 'ViaFrancia' 2021 - Baglio di Pianetto?
The Sicilia Rosso DOC 'ViaFrancia' 2021 - Baglio di Pianetto is an elegant and complex wine, an authentic expression of the winery's Franco-Sicilian soul.

The result is a full-bodied and well-balanced wine, capable of delivering a rich yet always harmonious sensory experience.Vintage Details
The 2021 vintage is considered one of the most interesting in recent years for the production of Sicilian reds. Sunny days and significant temperature variations between day and night favored uniform grape ripening, preserving aromatic freshness and concentration. Slightly lower yields than average contributed to superior quality, with ripe fruit and intense aromas.Winemaking and Aging
The winemaking process for Sicilia Rosso DOC 'ViaFrancia' 2021 - Baglio di Pianetto follows a respectful approach aimed at enhancing the varietal characteristics.
