On the palate, it is a warm, harmonious and persistent \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e, supported by excellent structure and \u003cstrong\u003eenveloping tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from Santa Cristina Gela, in the province of Palermo, within a picturesque hillside amphitheatre. The \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-altitude vineyards\u003c\/strong\u003e, situated over nine hundred metres above sea level, benefit from unique climatic conditions. The soil composition varies according to the variety: the plots dedicated to Merlot are predominantly clayey and rich in minerals, while those for Nero d’Avola have a marked \u003cstrong\u003ecalcareous component\u003c\/strong\u003e.

A further twenty-four months of bottle ageing completes the process, stabilising the ruby colour and harmonising the palate in a \u003cstrong\u003elong-lasting finish\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first red wine from Baglio di Pianetto, \u003cstrong\u003eRamione Sicilia DOC\u003c\/strong\u003e pays tribute to the pioneer Baron Palizzolo.
