Description
Organic still red wine from Sicily, 13% ABV, produced by Planeta. 100% Nero d'Avola. 0.75 L bottle, 2022 vintage. A Nero d'Avola born from the passion of the Planeta family, 17 generations of Sicilian winemaking tradition. Destemming followed by 21 days of maceration, malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, and aging for 14 months in barriques. Aromas of leather, wet grass, carob, and ferrous notes. Ripe, compact fruit and balsamic notes unfold sweetly and vigorously on the palate, accompanying a dense yet open tannin structure perfectly balanced with the structure of this wine, with its deep, baritone notes.
