Description
Organic still red wine from Terre Siciliane IGT, 13.5% ABV, produced by Planeta. 100% Pinot Noir, 2022 vintage. A wine born on the slopes of Etna, in Sciaranuova, where Pinot Noir thrives in a unique terroir thanks to the mineral-rich lava sands. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully vinified, fermenting in open-tonneaux for 12 days. Aged for 6 months in third-passage tonneaux, then in stainless steel. Flint, ink, wild plums, and cherries are among the aromas, with velvety yet responsive tannins on the palate, for a lively, gentle, and elegant red.
