Description
Aromatic organic sweet passito from Noto DOC, 12% ABV, produced by Planeta. 100% Moscato Bianco/Moscato Reale. 0.50 L bottle, 2024 vintage. A wine that embodies the passion and dedication of the Planeta family, 17 generations of ties to the Sicilian land. The grapes, harvested in late August, are dried in the drying room for about 40 days, then slowly fermented in steel tanks. Extraordinary aromas of apricots, rose petals, papaya, and quince. Sweet and full-bodied on the palate, yet lively with citrus notes, reminiscent of nougat and candied ginger.
