Made from Nero d’Avola grapes, it displays a deep purple-violet colour in the glass. The aromatic profile opens with intense notes of ripe plum and wild blackberry, enriched by hints of incense, jasmine, and black truffle. On the palate, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003evaried tannic texture\u003c\/strong\u003e, capable of combining soft nuances with a more pronounced and austere structure. This balance makes it ideal for pairing with \u003cstrong\u003egrilled meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, pork, and flavourful cheeses, enhancing dishes with delicate smoky notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the Menfi area, located in the province of Agrigento. For this label, Planeta carefully selects bunches from the Ulmo and Dispensa estates. The \u003cstrong\u003evineyards trained using the spur-pruned cordon method\u003c\/strong\u003e are situated at 195 and 75 metres above sea level, respectively. Geological differences enrich the wine’s profile: Ulmo is characterised by \u003cstrong\u003esoils rich in pebbles\u003c\/strong\u003e and organic matter with a slight limestone presence, while Dispensa’s soils have a higher limestone content and are poorer in stones. This combination of altitudes and soils gives the wine a clear aromatic definition and excellent \u003cstrong\u003estructural solidity\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarvesting takes place at the beginning of September, respecting the specific yields of the two vineyards. After destemming and crushing, vinification begins with \u003cstrong\u003efermentation in stainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e at twenty-five degrees. The must remains in contact with the skins for fourteen days, a stage accompanied by repeated pump-overs to extract colour and aromas, followed by gentle pressing. The wine then completes malolactic fermentation. The process concludes with \u003cstrong\u003ematuration in third and fourth passage wooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for ten months, a period that smooths the tannins and imparts a balanced \u003cstrong\u003egustatory complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e without overpowering the original fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name \u003cstrong\u003ePlumbago\u003c\/strong\u003e is a tribute to the wild flower with violet hues that adorns the woods around the baglio and the Ulmo vineyards, near Lake Arancio. This elegant \u003cstrong\u003epure Nero d’Avola\u003c\/strong\u003e refinedly expresses the authentic vocation of the Menfi territory.

The vines, cultivated using the spur-pruned cordon method, offer a sincere interpretation of Sicily, celebrating the winery founded in 1995.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Planeta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46133346795691,"sku":"60132","price":152.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/planeta-nero-d-avola-plumbago-2023_60132_1_39b1d72e-6f41-4f8a-8c37-844d8c1d0f3f.webp?v=1773810611","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-hk\/products\/planeta-nero-davola-plumbago-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
