Description
Organic still red wine from Sicily, 13% ABV, produced by Planeta. Blend: 50% Nero d'Avola, 25% Merlot, 20% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Franc, 2023 vintage. A wine that tells the story of a family that has cultivated the Sicilian land for 17 generations. Aromas of blackcurrant and mulberry with a subtle spicy and minty finish. An intense and vivid ruby red color. On the palate, the wine reveals its beautiful personality with flavors of ripe berries, balanced by a full, herbaceous flavor in an absolutely delightful way. The tannins are gentle and well-polished, giving this red a very versatile character.

| Wine making | The grapes were harvested and transported to the winery in small to medium-sized carts. Once in the cellar, they were destemmed and crushed, then sent to 114/160/213 hl steel tanks. The grapes were handled three times a day with very short pumping over - between 12 and 25 minutes - depending on the stage of fermentation, so as to respect the skin and the fruit as much as possible. Fermentation lasted 7 to 8 days, the temperature in the early stages was kept at around 16 to 17 °C and then, as it drew to a close, refrigeration was suspended and the final alcoholic degrees took place at temperatures between 24 and 25 °C. Once fermentation was finished, the skins were racked off. Malolactic fermentation took place in the same tanks; once completed, between November and December, after racking following malolactic fermentation, ageing began, again in steel tanks. |
