An ancient baglio of 600 surrounded by nature restored to ensure all comforts
The story of Baglio Occhipinti
Over ten hectares of the Ragusana countryside in the heart of south-eastern Sicily, immersed in the Val di Noto, right in the heart of the DOCG del Cerasuolo di Vittoria and the most authentic Baroque architecture.
The history of the estate has always been linked to the production of wine and witnesses are the open-air limestone pits originally used for the collection of musts. The first building erected on a hillock and dated around 600 develops in real millstone towards 700 and finds its maximum expansion between 1830 and 1850. The millstone is the place where musts are collected, pressing and the harvest for the subsequent maceration and fermentation of the wine. The history of wine flows into the roots of Baglio Occhipinti and still feeds it today, as does the concept of respect for Nature. Tradition created by the Occhipinti family and, in particular, by Arianna and Giusto with their wineries, designed to enhance the territory and Cerasuolo di Vittoria.
Occhipinti family
Baglio Occhipinti is the story of a family and of the link with the terroir, lived spontaneously since childhood, to the rediscovery of agriculture and its values.
A history of agriculture that has become a desire to share also with its guests, once again enhancing the slowness and respect for natural times, but also for ways: the whole farm is organic, spontaneously because for Fausta and the Occhipinti family there is no other way of doing agriculture, if not respecting nature.Tradition created by the Occhipinti family and, in particular, by Arianna and Giusto with their wineries, designed to enhance the territory and Cerasuolo di Vittoria.

Between nature and tradition, experiences to live
The Baglio Occhipinti estate is entirely open to its guests who can visit it in full, but above all live: reaping the fruits of the garden, walking through the vineyards and, also, organizing spontaneous picnics in the Ragusano countryside. All that remains is to ask Fausta, the hostess, how to organize the picnic basket…
