Production and refinement

The Frappato grapes come from Vigna Pianogrillo, in the territory of Chiaramonte Gulfi (southeastern Sicily), on calcareous-marly soils typical of the Hyblaean area. The vines are trained using the traditional alberello (bush vine) system, with a low yield of around 60 quintals per hectare to ensure aromatic concentration and expressive finesse. Harvesting is done by hand at full phenolic ripeness, with careful selection of the bunches.

Winemaking involves a short skin-contact maceration in the press (saignée) of about 2 hours, just enough to extract the typical deep cherry-pink color without compromising freshness and elegance. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature, followed by aging also in stainless steel for a few months, including contact with fine lees, to enhance complexity, roundness, and aromatic precision.

Organoleptic analysis

Visual exam

The wine shows an intense, luminous cherry-pink color, bright to the eye with lively reflections.

Olfactory examination

On the nose it is fine and fragrant, with dominant notes of wild strawberries, lemon zest, and orange peel, followed by delicate floral nuances and a spicy touch of white pepper and lemon thyme. The aromatic profile is clean, immediate, and strongly varietal.

Tasting

On the palate it is fresh, slender, and smooth, with a balanced structure and a pleasant mineral savoriness. The body is light yet well defined, supported by good acidity that extends the drinkability. The finish is clean, slightly spicy, and persistent, with pleasant fruity and citrus echoes.

Baroni di Pianogrillo

The name given by the locals of Monte Maggiore to the male wild boar ('u verru) and a friendship formed at school in the 1960s led five friends to transform a gentle slope, overrun with brambles, into a company that produces organic wine and olive oil.

This initiative found its greatest expression in the discovery, recognition, and preservation of the Coda di Pecora grape variety, of which they are the sole producers, aiming to enhance its historical heritage and reintroduce the traditions of the region encapsulated in this unique variety.

Baroni di Pianogrillo

Alongside Coda di Pecora, the Baroni di Pianogrillo cultivate other historic grape varieties such as Pallagrello and Casavecchia.

Cesare Avenia, now the sole owner, acts as an ambassador for these wines to bring the essence of his Caserta to the world. All of this is achieved in just 5 hectares of vineyards.

Sicily

Sicilian wine territory is now considered a true continent, thanks to its pedoclimatic variability and rich biodiversity. It is located in the center of the Mediterranean and in the so-called "northern sunbelt," an area between the 30th and 50th parallels north and the 30th and 40th parallels south, where the best conditions of brightness and temperature for vine cultivation are found.

On the smaller islands, given the high temperatures and windy conditions, the typical training system is the "alberello" and its "mixed" versions (for example, on the island of Pantelleria), as well as the "Tendone" system. In the rest of Sicilian territory, however, more than half of the vineyards use espaliers and contre-espaliers. In Sicily, wines with a long history are born, such as Marsala, but also fragrant dessert wines like Passito di Pantelleria and Malvasia delle Lipari, not to mention Moscato di Noto and numerous robust red wines and interesting white wines. There's also Nerello Mascalese, climbing the slopes of Mount Etna.

Ragusa

Ragusa is one of the nine provinces in the region of Sicily, particularly renowned for its wine production.

The Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG is the only controlled and guaranteed designation in Sicily, reserved for red wines produced with Nero d’Avola (Calabrese) grapes, comprising 50-70%, and Frappato grapes, comprising 30-50%. The production area of Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG and Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico DOCG encompasses a vast region that includes territories within three neighboring provinces: Ragusa, Caltanissetta, and Catania.

Other designations in the province include:
- Vittoria DOC
- Eloro DOC
- Sicilia DOC
- Terre Siciliane IGT
Province hosting the only DOCG in Sicily

Recommended pairings and dishes

Matching by concordance

The wine pairs beautifully with dishes that share its same fragrant and immediate character. Notes of wild strawberry, citrus, and pepper find continuity in fresh, vegetable-based, and aromatic preparations, where balance is built on the delicacy of the ingredients. It works wonderfully with light Mediterranean cuisine featuring herbs and citrus, creating a fascinating dialogue between wine and dish.

Matching by contrast

Its freshness and low alcohol content make it ideal for contrasting fatty, fried, or slightly oily dishes, where the wine’s acidity and savory component help cleanse the palate. In spiced or slightly sweet dishes (such as certain Asian cuisines), the contrast comes from its linear profile and vibrant aromatic character, which softens the perception of heat and richness in the dish.

It pairs well with

Fresh Mediterranean cuisine, light appetizers, structured salads, raw fish and tartares, delicate first courses such as pasta with vegetables, light tomato-based sauces, and preparations featuring aromatic herbs. It also pairs very well with vegetarian cuisine, lightly spiced fusion dishes, and recipes based on white fish or shellfish.
