Baglio del Cristo is now seen 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 plantings of grape vines in Agrigento. The family wanted to make their dream come true, making wines of the highest quality. This was quite successful, the wines were launched on the market in 2009 and immediately won prizes.
That which is forgotten is as if it never happened. The only thing that exists is memory or - Lalùci - The Grillo grapes are harvested in 2 runs, namely in August and the first half of September. This is to get a good balance in the wine with beautiful fruit and acidity. The vineyards are located on a hilly terrain, with predominantly calcareous soil at 260 meters above sea level. The vineyard is located in Campobello di Licata at an altitude between 230 and 260 meters above sea level and 8,000 meters from the coast. The vineyard therefore has a unique microclimate where the day / night temperature fluctuation is up to 20 degrees due to sea breeze. Minimal intervention is also required because the sea breeze keeps the vineyard healthy (lice, fungi) and therefore this Grillo is seen as one of the very best Sisicilian Grillo.
The grapes are harvested by hand in small crates. After destemming and crushing, the temperature of the must is reduced to 8-10oC for maceration. this ensures a better and quiet extraction of all aromas. A light pressing follows, after which the free-run wine is separated and decanted by the process of natural sedimentation at low temperature. The wine then remains on the lees (sur lie) in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks for four months and in the bottle for at least three months before it becomes available.
The Baglio del Cristo di Campobello Laluci Grillo has intense aromas of yellow and white flowers that take on mineral notes, passing into citrus fruit, white peach, pear and green apple. A truly beautiful wine

Both nationally (Perswijn) and internationally (Monica Larner, Robert Parker, Bibenda and the Italian Guild of Sommeliers), the wines of Baglio-del-cristo-di-campobello are recognized as the best Nero d'Avola in Sicily.
In Campobello di Licata, everyone knows the large modern white wine cellar that is built on a hill with calcareous soil that reflects the light of the sun. On this hill - three hundred meters above sea level and 5km far from the Gulf of Licata - is a large wooden Christ, placed two hundred years ago by a farmer. It has since become a place of pilgrimage for winegrowers who come to pray for the quality of their wine once it is vinified.
From the beginning - says Carmelo Bonetta - we have tried to make wines with a strong expression and personality. We try to use the maximum potential of our terroir because a lot of the attention of our work goes initially to the vineyard and then to the work in the cellar, we respect what the earth gives us through limited productions and small yields.
For many years, the Bonetta family sold their grapes to other wine companies at a low price. In 2006 the decision was made to bottle their own wines in order to see the fruits of their labor in their own bottle. This also kicked off the construction of a new winery. "One day, he remembers", because of the crisis and the associated low cost per kg of the grapes, we gathered around the table with the whole family, because we had to make a choice: either abandon everything and sell or our van our own grapes make our own wines. The knowledge that we had always worked hard in our vineyards and that our vines were in optimal condition made us decide to abandon total sales and we decided from then on to do everything ourselves from the vineyard to the bottle. The evocative names of our wines such as "Lu Patri" (from the father of the Sicilian grape varieties, Nero d 'Avola) were born.
Since the very beginning, after the first harvest and commercialization, the first major awards and prizes came: "As my father Angelo always says" our best reward is the appreciation of the customer, of those who drink our wines and continue to appreciate them by then to buy again. This is our recognition and our greatest success. "
"Today Baglio del Cristo di Campobello produces about three hundred thousand bottles (divided into eight types of wine: four white and four red), in addition, there remains a constant source of ideas and projects for the future, such as research into producing without the addition of sulfur dioxide, This in collaboration with one of the best Italian oenologists Ricardo Cotarella We are aware that this is a very complex subject, which requires time and a lot of money, but we do not make any concessions on quality. but we have taken a step in the right direction, from now on we will only work according to the principles of ecological sustainability, with love and respect for everything that comes from the earth.The climate here is extremely ventilated with frequent temperature fluctuations. our lead, for example, to work in the vineyards without fertilizers, only manure from our own animals is used, this is the only way Our vines are resistant to all kinds of diseases, making chemical products completely unnecessary.
There is a lot of interest from abroad with regard to Sicilian wines. We are a small wine company committed to building values, strong bonds with our partners. Our importers are pre-screened and selected by us because it is people who sell wines with their hearts and who, through their expertise, can convey our philosophy and that of our wines. In the first place, they are all wine lovers who survive despite the crisis through their craftsmanship and drive. "

Both nationally (Perswijn) and internationally (Monica Larner, Robert Parker, Bibenda and the Italian Guild of Sommeliers), the wines of Baglio-del-cristo-di-campobello are recognized as the best Nero d'Avola in Sicily.
In Campobello di Licata, everyone knows the large modern white wine cellar that is built on a hill with calcareous soil that reflects the light of the sun. On this hill - three hundred meters above sea level and 5km far from the Gulf of Licata - is a large wooden Christ, placed two hundred years ago by a farmer.
