Vintage: 2021
Region: Sicily, Italy
Viticulture: Organic
Grape varieties: Grillo and Viognier

Mastro di Baglio Frizzante Ancestrale is a pet-nat blend of Grillo and Viognier, both grown overlooking the ocean near Marsala, Sicily. Fresh Sicilian citrus, briny air, and soft bubbles. After manual harvesting, the grapes undergo de-stemming and a soft pressing. Fermentation takes place in modern stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts is interrupted when it is not yet finished. The wine is then bottled and left for a few months in the dark of the Mastro di Baglio cellar. Fermentation resumes naturally inside the bottle, and the product obtained is in fact a sparkling wine from the ancestral method, authentic and fresh.

About Mastro di Baglio 

Nino, Giacomo, Vincenzo, Vito, and Daniele, round out the team of five Marsala winegrowers from families of ancient peasant tradition, united by the love for nature and the desire to enhance the cultural heritage.

Mastro di Baglio was born with the aim of producing natural wines of excellent quality, respecting nature, and named after the ancient fortified farmhouses of the Marsala countryside.

Thanking the mild Sicilian climate and the vigor of its extraordinary land, they manage the vineyards without irrigation, and no use of chemical herbicides or synthetic pesticides. Just small amounts of sulfur and verdigris (limited to 2/3 treatments per year).

The wines are not filtered but naturally decanted so that the static sedimentation guarantees adequate clarity of the products. The sulfites present are only those naturally generated during fermentation which takes place at a controlled temperature, using indigenous yeasts and without the use of synthetic chemicals.
