Baglio di Pianetto Syrah In Purezza Sicilia DOC Biologico (2024)
Baglio di Pianetto / Sicilia DOC, Palermo hills, Sicily, Italy
The Cool-Climate, Pepper-Dusty High-Altitude Sicilian Red
Deep, opaque ruby-purple in the glass. The nose is vibrant, aromatic, and layered, offering upfront aromas of ripe blackberries, dark plums, crushed black peppercorns, fresh wild herbs, and a subtle hint of balsamic eucalyptus. Medium-to-full-bodied on the palate, driven by succulent dark fruit, fine-grained velvety tannins, refreshing mountain-derived acidity, and a clean, savory, spice-dusted finish.
⭐⭐ (Sitting around 13.5% ABV. Crafted organically with high-altitude freshness and clean winemaking, it drinks with great vitality and minimal heaviness when paired with a good meal).
Grilled lamb cutlets, roasted pork belly, rich beef stews, eggplant caponata, or aged pecorino cheese.
Syrah in Sicily can sometimes turn into a baked, heavy jam bomb if grown down on the hot coastal plains. But Baglio di Pianetto’s Vini d'Altura approach changes the game completely. Grown high up in the hills near Palermo and farmed organically, this wine brings a gorgeous coolness and pepper-dusted precision that you rarely find in southern sunshine. It's savory, fresh, structured, and completely delicious—proof that Sicilian wine has layers way beyond simple table reds.
