Planeta Controdanza 2020
Controdanza, from “country dance”, is a traditional rural dance where partners move gracefully together and then oppose each other. Thus, this wine imagined an association of Nero d’Avola and a small amount of Merlot, both cultivated in Noto’s white soil. An unconventional combination, balanced between harmony and contrast.

Bouquet

Mulberry and plum together with bay, incense and balsamic notes being balanced and made lively by the addition of a vibrant Merlot produced on the same calcareous soils.

Flavour

Harmonic acidity and soft tannins are characterising the palate.

Pairing

From pork to lamb, the wine expresses its best with all grilled meats. Also ideal with a traditional recipe such as ‘salsiccia sul coppo’ or in a playful pairing with sweet and sour sauces.
