Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2004 Ramione (50% Nero d’Avola, 50% Merlot) is a pretty, generous offering made in a straightforward, accessible style. Although Merlot gives the wine an attractive, plump personality the Ramione doesn’t quite have the sense of identity the top bottlings offer. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2014.
The estate of Baglio di Pianetto includes two vineyards, carefully selected within Sicily and developed to take advantage of altitude and location. The winery combines indigenous grape varietals with classic international grapes to create wines of distinctive character and interest. To recognize the advancements in winemaking in this region, Sicily, along with the rest of Southern Italy, was named Wine Enthusiast's "Region of the Year" in 2003.
