Description
A still red from Sicily, 14% ABV, produced by Planeta. A 2021 Maroccoli Syrah born from the passion of one of Sicily's finest wineries. The grapes come from Sambuca di Sicilia. Destemming followed by 21 days of maceration at 25°C; after racking, malolactic fermentation takes place in stainless steel and oak. Aged in Allier oak barriques, 30% new. Dark notes of cocoa, freshly dried red roses, leather, black pepper, and licorice root give this nose a mysterious character, followed by camphorated balsamic notes and hints of brandied cherries. Dense ruby color. The palate balances soft tannins and subtle freshness; a good finish.
