Planeta La Segreta Il Bianco 2023
La Segreta takes its name from the wood that surrounds our vineyard at Ulmo. A wine that has always been produced exclusively from the vineyards owned by the Planeta family for centuries, cultivated with passion and according to the criteria of sustainability and organic farming. Initially graphically linked to an ancient 18th-century map, descriptive of places, to underline an ancient presence and deep roots, today it presents itself in a totally new and refined guise. For this, we were inspired by the theme of Sicilian nature - inside and outside the bottle - drawing on the work of an illustrious Sicilian, Giuseppe Riggio, who in the late 18th and early 19th century created, with the help of a painter, a 'erbario picto' (herbarium picto) representing Sicilian flora with great precision and poetry. The new label offers an alphabet of herbs, flowers and roots, an expression of a hidden and powerful beauty that reveals itself only to those who know how to admire it. An olfactory and gustatory richness that is fully manifested in these wines.

Colour

Light yellow colour with beautiful sea-green hues.

Bouquet

Nose aromas of white peach, not too ripe apricot, Sicilian citrus, white melon, tropical fruits, chestnut honey, freshly cut hay. Fresh acidity and excellent persistence, thanks to a slender and balanced structure.

Flavour

On the palate, fruit sensations and salinity return, together with a pleasant freshness.

Pairing

While certainly ideal for an after-work aperitif, it is equally suitable for vegetarian cuisine, salads, fish-based first courses and with seafood crudités.

Vinification The grapes were harvested and placed in small carts, then refrigerated at around 16-17 °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 15-16 °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 favour the fixation of the aromas and the increase in the volume of flavour; it was finally blended and bottled.
