Viafrancia Rosso is a high-altitude blend of notable elegance and character, expressing the most noble soul of Baglio di Pianetto. Composed mainly of Nero d'Avola and Syrah grapes, the wine stands out for its origin, coming from diverse soils ranging from medium-textured soils to more clay-based ones located between 730 and 830 meters above sea level.
The winemaking process is a combination of tradition and advanced techniques.
After careful selection, the grapes are harvested by hand and placed in boxes. The separate vinification of the two varieties takes place in steel tanks, with rigorous temperature control to preserve the aromatic and structural characteristics as much as possible. Subsequently, the wine ages for a period of 18 months in new and second-fill barriques, where a slow and gradual transformation takes place, enriching the wine with complexity and harmony.
The best bases of each variety are selected to create the definitive blend, which is then further aged in steel tanks until the desired stability is achieved. The wine is bottled and stored for a period of bottle maturation until the perfect balance is achieved.
During tasting, Viafrancia Rosso has an intense ruby red color, enriched by violet highlights that underline its freshness and vitality.
The aromatic bouquet is complex and engaging: intense notes of ripe plum and juicy blackberry are immediately evident, accompanied by lively nuances of sour cherries that add freshness to the aromatic profile. The intriguing presence of red roses and violets conveys elegance, while the medjool date adds complexity. On the spicy front, a pleasant combination of vanilla, juniper and green pepper emerges, balanced and intriguing.
These spices emphasize the complexity of the wine, offering an engaging sensory experience. The persistent character emerges with strong tones of sweet tobacco and cocoa bean, providing depth and structure. These tertiary notes further enrich the wine, inviting careful and curious exploration.
At first sip, there is a pleasant flavor that awakens the palate, followed by a vibrant freshness that invites further exploration of the wine.
The tannic texture is plush and rounded, characterized by well-integrated tannins that give the wine a robust structure and a pleasant, smooth sensation. The flavor persistence is remarkable, with the intense flavor of ripe fruit that lasts and lingers in the finish. The well-balanced acidity gives the wine a vivacious freshness, which helps maintain the balance between sweetness and structure.
The wine is round and full-bodied, with a silky consistency that caresses the palate with a long and persistent finish.
Its complexity and structure reflect the constant care and commitment in tending the vines and selecting the grapes, while its aromatic and gustatory profile invites a rich and engaging sensory experience.
Viafrancia Rosso is an authentic expression of the territory and passion of Baglio di Pianetto, embodying the essence of high-altitude viticulture in all of its harmony and elegance.
