Description

Terre della Baronia - Rosato
Expression of a grape variety, Inzolia Nera, commonly known in our hills as Inzolia Rossa or Rosa, an ancient vine of which very few specimens have survived for centuries in Sicily and which in 2018 was officially entered in the National Register of Vine Varieties. The Inzolia Rosa is also part of that path of valorisation of ancient Sicilian varieties. We started cultivating it over 30 years ago in our experimental fields and it has become the variety of excellence that characterises the creation of Milazzo sparkling and Rosé wines.
"Sicily remains one of Europe's few reservoirs of viticultural variability, in which it is possible to find many grape varieties that had been lost to us, but also the parents and ancestors of varieties currently cultivated in faraway places. Ancient vines not only represent an essential element in promoting originality in the world of wine, but their protection and promotion also represents a concrete action in safeguarding biodiversity and territories historically dedicated to viticulture'.
