Description
Organic still white wine from Sicily, 12.5% ABV, produced by Planeta. Blend: 50% Grecanico Dorato, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Fiano, 10% Viognier. 0.75 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A white born from the passion of the Planeta family, who have been producing excellent wines for 17 generations. The grapes were harvested and placed in small trolleys, then chilled to approximately 16-7°C. The resulting must remained in static decantation at approximately 8-9°C for 36 hours; the clear part was then racked and fermented at approximately 15-6°C for 10-12 days. On the nose, aromas of white peach, unripe apricot, Sicilian citrus, white melon, tropical fruit, chestnut honey, and freshly cut hay. Fresh acidity and excellent persistence, thanks to a lean and balanced structure. Light yellow color with beautiful sea green hues. On the palate, fruity sensations and salinity return, along with a pleasant freshness.

| Wine making | The grapes were harvested and placed in small trolleys, then chilled to around 16 7 °C. Once in the cellar, the grapes were destemmed and crushed, then sent to a soft press. The must obtained remained at around 8-9 °C in static decantation for 36 hours, after which the clear part was decanted and fermented at around 15 6 °C for 10/12 days. At the end of fermentation in 210/264/600 hl stainless steel tanks, after about 7 days, the wine was decanted, leaving it on the finer lees with weekly agitation to encourage the fixation of aromas and increase the volume of flavour; it was finally blended and bottled. |
