Description

The wine “Velata” is the most recent “red label” launched by the Baglio Diar winery, on the market since 2023, following what we might call the trend of recent years in Italy: the rediscovery of ancient native grape varieties. Velata is made from the red Perricone grape, also known as Pignatello in the provinces of Palermo and Trapani, from “Pignatidare”, the red clay soils typical of the Trapani area, and of Marsala in particular, from which terracotta cooking pots are made. The variety was widely grown until the end of the 19th century and used as a blending grape to add structure and colour to Sicilian blends. After years of neglect, it is now finding new life as a single-varietal wine.
The Perricone vineyards are in the heart of south-western Sicily, near Trapani, at an altitude of around 250 m above sea level, on clay soil. The hillside position and the hot, arid climate, with periods of drought that have become more extreme in recent years, offer ideal conditions for Perricone, which adapts perfectly.
The harvest, carried out at night between mid- and late September, helps preserve the integrity and freshness of the grapes on their way to the winery.
The wine is fermented with skin maceration for 15 days at a controlled temperature of 25°C. At the end of the process, malolactic fermentation is allowed to take place.
Velata then ages for 6 months in French oak barriques, followed by a period in stainless steel tanks before bottling and at least 3 months of rest in bottle before release.
In the glass it shows an intense ruby red; on the nose it is seductive and complex, with aromas of blackberry and liquorice enriched by notes of black tea, cocoa and toasted hazelnut. On the palate it is full and enveloping, with good body, lively tannins and vibrant acidity. Flavours of black cherry, cinnamon, peanuts and a touch of coffee lead into a long, pleasant finish.
Perfect with grilled red meat, roast lamb and aged cheeses, Velata is also surprising alongside game stews with black olives and aromatic herbs. A wine of decisive, sophisticated character for lovers of structured reds.
