Lu Patri is a pure Nero d'Avola, conceived in the spring of 2000. The grapes used for this wine come from six hectares of the Christ of Campobello, a long-time Baglio property. The grapes are harvested by hand between the months of September and October, when they have reached perfect aromatic and phenolic ripeness and are therefore capable of producing a wine of great complexity and depth. The appearance is that of the classic Sicilian red, characterised by a deep, impenetrable ruby colour. One glance is enough to realise that what we have in our glass is a wine of great character and overwhelming personality. On the nose, balsamic and herbal notes. Then hints of fresh fruit, with blackberry and black cherry. In the mouth, however, it is above all soft and round. Of remarkable taste persistence, it is a complex and warm, enveloping and spicy wine. The elegant tannins make it a wine with a very long persistence. Good, in fact very good today, it is a red that does not fear the first wrinkles on the label. Jealously guarded in the cellar, it will evolve for at least another ten years.
Welcome to Baglio del Cristo. In the heart of Sicily, and more precisely in the Agrigento countryside, lies the Baglio del Cristo winery. A single organism composed of ten micro-areas. A total of fifty hectares located on the hills of Campobello di Licata. Vineyards between 230 and 270 metres above sea level, about eight kilometres from the coast. Modern, high-density plantings, with about 5,000 vines per hectare, harvested strictly by hand, in small boxes. An oenological path aimed at the search for absolute quality, thanks to a suitable environment with an extraordinary microclimate. Limited productions, also depending on the vintage, the result of individual vinifications for each vineyard, respecting a unique and precious territory.
