Description

Baglio Diar makes the white “Fantasia” from Zibibbo, the king of southern European grapes, a very ancient variety spread across the Mediterranean basin as far back as Roman times. Its name comes from the Arabic word Zabīb, meaning “raisin”, widely used in the Arab world and a clear reference to its natural sweetness.
Fantasia is a wine that is easy to fall in love with if you like aromatic wines: a label with plenty of personality and lively acidity, with citrus touches and hints of aromatic herbs. The plot, with medium-textured soils, lies between Marsala and Salemi, in the inland south-west of Sicily, at an altitude of 300 m above sea level; the Baglio Diar team has tended the vines according to the principles of organic viticulture for 20 years now, using only copper and sulphur and no herbicides.
The harvest takes place at night between the third and fourth week of August, when temperatures are cooler. In the winery the grapes undergo cryo-maceration, with the temperature lowered to 4°C for 10-12 hours, before being gently pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of around 15°C. The wine then ages for 3 months, again in stainless steel tanks, completing its maturation with at least one month in bottle.
A bright, pale straw yellow, Fantasia has an intense, refined nose with prominent citrus notes such as orange blossom and grapefruit, accompanied by delicate hints of eucalyptus. On the palate it is nimble, with lively acidity and medium body, and a range of flavours recalling lychee, banana and hints of aromatic herbs such as oregano and sage; the finish is surprisingly long and fresh.
Perfect with spiced white meats, shellfish soups or flavourful legume dishes, it also proves an excellent match for mildly spicy dishes or blue cheeses, thanks to its aromatic profile and elegant versatility.
