The first red produced in Pianetto was named after the previous owner of the estate, Baron Antonio Palizzolo di Ramione: it was he, in fact, who first established a vineyard in this area. Soft and balanced, Ramione harmoniously expresses the encounter between Sicily (Nero d'Avola) and France (Merlot), elevating them into one unique essence. On first impact, the nose receives aromas of red fruit, while on the palate we have notes of coffee and black pepper which give depth to the lingering overtones of black cherry supported by elegant tannins.

Vinification

The grapes are handpicked and chilled before destemming and pressing. The same technique is applied to both varieties, followed by traditional pigeage and pumpovers at a controlled temperature.

Ageing

12 months in new or second/third fill French oak barriques, depending on vintage. In bottle for a further 24 months.
