Baglio Gibellina, U Passimiento, 2023

The 2023 U Passimiento from Baglio Gibellina is a rich and expressive Sicilian red. Crafted from a blend of 70% Nero d’Avola and 30% Frappato grapes, this wine offers a harmonious balance of depth and freshness.

This approachable wine pairs wonderfully with pasta dishes, grilled meats, or mild cheeses. Its rich fruit profile and balanced acidity make it a versatile choice for various cuisines.

To make the U Passimiento, Nero d’Avola grapes are left on the vines for a light withering, allowing natural dehydration to concentrate their flavours. In contrast, the Frappato grapes are harvested earlier to retain their freshness. After separate fermentations, the wines are carefully blended and matured in steel tanks, preserving their vibrant character without the influence of oak.
