Planeta Nero d'Avola Plumbago 2021
Plumbago – named after the beautiful purple wildflower that grows in the woods surrounding the farmhouse and vineyards of Ulmo – is a single-variety Nero d’Avola. It is produced from the old vineyard at Lake Arancio, giving this soft fruity version of this great Sicilian grape variety. Rounded tannins and perfectly balanced woody notes make it an immediately pleasurable wine. Ideal for Mediterranean cooking based on vegetables and all types of meat.

Colour

Deep purple.

Bouquet

Plumbago is dominated by aromas of ripe plums and wild blackberries and has pleasantly complex aromatic hints of incense, jasmine and black truffle.

Flavour

The tannin texture is varied and combines soft, sweet and seductive aspects, like a Sachertorte, with the harder, more direct aspects of a chocolate bar from Modica.

Pairing

It is perfect for matching grilled meat with its affinity for smokey tones and its natural sweetness that pairs with any sauce.
