The Baglio del Cristo di Campobello C'D'C 'Rosso comes from the Italian island of Sicily. Baglio del Cristo is now regarded as one of the best wineries in Sicily where Sicily is currently seen as a strongly emerging Italian wine region. In 2000 the Bonetta brothers started the first plantations of vines in Agrigento. The family wanted to make her dream come true, to make wines of the highest quality. This is quite successful, in 2009 the wines were put on the market and they immediately won prizes.
The vineyards are situated on a hilly terrain, at an altitude between 230 and 260 meters above sea level.
The vinification with maceration on the peels takes place for 10 - 15 days at a controlled temperature.
The wine stays in stainless steel tanks for 6 months and then in the bottle for another six months before it becomes available on the market
The CDC stands for Cristo di Campobello and is a blend of Nero d'Avola, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot. It is a pleasant wine with small red fruit, among other things, sour cherries and forest fruits. The wine is wonderfully spicy with delicious silky tannins. Well balanced an ideal wine with a pizza, BBQ, red meat or with a drink with a cheese board
