About the Wine

The wine-growing tradition of the Caruso family has its roots deep in the Sicilian soil

The constant pursuit of excellence allows for the success of the indigenous grape varieties, especially Nero d’Avola and Grillo, among others. Simplicity and respect for the land are the fundamental principles of daily activities and the choice of producing only wines in purity is the key to winning international appreciation. This family-owned estate embodies and maintains the philosophy of producing wines with minimal intervention and with the utmost purity

Assuli Baglio's 120 hectares of land and high-quality 100% organic wines celebrate the authenticity of the local terroir. In the Western side of Sicily, Assuli, which means “under the sun” in the local dialect, combines tradition and innovation in a magical location. The winery stands in an area renowned for its centenary wine-growing history and can boast the DOC Sicilia certification. The sun, the light, the high minerality of the soil, the Mediterranean perfumes brought by the wind characterize wines of great personality.

Organic growing underlines the choice to pursue a model of sustainable development based on the principles focused on safeguarding the resources and respect for the environment. Assuli Baglio vines are cultivated without the use of chemical agents while vinification takes place according to the parameters that guarantee genuineness and naturality.

Tasting Notes: The wine is an intense ruby red with purple hues, the nose has intense aromas of ripe red fruit. The palate displays good balance with soft tannins. Pairs excellent with medium-aged cheeses and roasted meat with potatoes. Like most red wines, Chill for 15 minutes in refrigerator prior to service.

3 Bicchieri ~Gambero Rosso (one of the best Nero d'Avolas of the year)

Deep blue-red color. Ink, blueberry, and sassafras on the enticing nose. Then tactile and rich but lively, with delightful easy to drink quality. A very pretty wine the aromas and flavors of which linger long on the aftertaste~90 Vinous Media
