Baffo is named after an elderly local farmer whose moustache (baffo in Italian) became the symbol of the Sete project's connection to the land and the people who kept it alive. The wine is a blend of 50% Nero Buono, 25% Ciliegiolo, and 25% Bonamico, three varieties grown on clay-limestone soils in the Amaseno River Valley near Priverno, in the Province of Latina, about 100 km south of Rome.
Fermentation is spontaneous with indigenous yeasts in fiberglass vats. Ciliegiolo and Bonamico are co-macerated together for 24 hours on the skins, while Nero Buono is fermented separately with a 5-day skin maceration to extract its deep color and black-fruit character. The two lots are then blended and aged together on the lees for 10 months in fiberglass.
Nero Buono di Cori is a rare, deeply pigmented variety native to the Province of Latina, historically used as a blending grape for color in Cori DOC and Castelli Romani wines. Ciliegiolo brings brightness and cherry-driven aromatics. Bonamico is a near-forgotten local variety rescued by Sete from old vineyards in the municipalities of Priverno, Roccagorga, Maenza, and Roccasecca dei Volsci.
No chemicals are used in the vineyards. No sulfites are added at any stage. The wine is unfined and unfiltered.
