Baglio Gibellina U Passimiento 2024
Baglio Gibellina U Passimiento is a captivating and distinctive Sicilian red that combines the vibrant freshness of Frappato with the concentrated richness of partially dried Nero d'Avola grapes, creating a wine of exceptional depth, warmth and a subtle, natural sweetness. Approachable, food-friendly and outstanding value from one of Sicily's most authentic estates. Why You'll Love It Baglio Gibellina is nestled amidst the rolling hills of Salemi and Santa Ninfa, a winery deeply rooted in the history and traditions of Sicily.

The palate is warm and full-bodied with harmonious acidity, smooth tannins and a delightful hint of natural sweetness that lingers on the finish. Perfect Pairings A wonderfully versatile Sicilian red. Excellent with pasta, pizza, tomato-based sauces and grilled vegetables. Also pairs beautifully with mild cheeses such as mozzarella or young pecorino, and is a n
