Baglio Bonsignore's Nero d'Avola "IO" is a wine that brings the winery's most intimate and personal character to the glass. The name itself, "IO," is a declaration of identity: a sincere affirmation of belonging to the Sicilian land, its warmth, its energy, and its memory.

This wine comes from the vineyards of the Agro di Naro, where the light is intense but the altitude of approximately 450 meters lends freshness and breadth. The calcareous-clay soils, nourished by underground water and caressed by constant winds, allow for balanced ripening of the grapes, promoting aromatic concentration without losing finesse. It is a terroir that shapes Nero d'Avola with a delicate hand, enhancing its fruity essence and natural elegance.

In the glass, "IO" displays a brilliant, deep red color. On the nose, notes of ripe cherry, black cherry, plum, and spicy hints evoke the earth and herbs of the Mediterranean. Subtle nuances follow, reminiscent of light cocoa, licorice, and a balsamic touch that adds depth. On the palate, it is full-bodied yet balanced, with soft tannins and a freshness that makes it dynamic and smooth. The finish is harmonious, persistent, warm yet never heavy.

“IO” is a modern Nero d'Avola, capable of expressing both power and grace. It's perfect with traditional Sicilian dishes like caponata, grilled meats, pasta with ragù, and aged cheeses, but its gentle depth also makes it a perfect companion on its own, serving as a conversation wine.

This wine encapsulates Baglio Bonsignore's philosophy: authenticity, listening to nature, and respecting time. It's a Nero d'Avola that doesn't seek to overwhelm, but rather to excite with its identity. A wine that speaks to Sicily, and at the same time, to its producers.
