Description

This noble vine is cultivated on just a few hectares in the province of Messina, facing the sea and is of historical importance. La Baronia on Capo Milazzo is a spectacular vineyard surrounded by the sea, ancient olive trees, and views of the Aeolian islands. A marine red wine with aromas of Mediterranean land, myrtle and garrigue. Fondazione Barone Lucifero, which owns the estate, uses part of the proceeds for socio-cultural and recreational activities for children in the Milazzo area.

To say Planeta is to say the best Sicilian wine reality. Closely linked to the place where it is located, the Cantina Planeta offers a series of labels of great territorial adherence, truly unique: La Baronia in Capo Milazzo, Dispensa in Menfi, Buonivini at Noto, Feudo di Mezzo on the Mount Etna in Castiglione di Sicilia and Ulmo in Sambuca di Sicilia. These are the places where the Cantine Planeta wineries are located, whose history has been handed down since the XVI century, by no less than 17 generations. It is a project that always keeps its gaze fixed on the past, but immersed in the present with a focus on the future. This is manifested both through the link with the ancient Sicilian winemaking tradition symbolised by indigenous varieties such as: Carricante, Frappato, Grecanico, Nerello mascalese, Moscato di Noto and Nero d'Avola, and by international varieties such as Merlot, Chardonnay and Syrah. Xtrawine offers you a wide range of Planeta wines that have received major awards from AIS, from the best vintages of 2016 and 2017. All the Planeta wines featured on Xtrawine are characterised by intense fruity and floral aromas and a strong flavour. Read more

Racking with soft pressing follows, and the wine thus obtained carries out its malolactic fermentation in stainless steel.
