Planeta Mamertino 2017
The name "Mamertino" is rooted in antiquity when the Mamertini produced this wine, described by Pliny and beloved by Julius Caesar, at Milazzo. The grapes Nero d’Avola and Nocera are aged for 12 months in 35 hl barrels. The small winery stands a short distance from the sea and is surrounded by the spectacular vines planted at Capo Milazzo. The Fondazione Barone Lucifero, the land proprietor, uses part of the income for children's social, cultural and recreational activities in the Milazzo area.

Colour

Bright, deep red with purple reflections.

Bouquet

Explosive nose with notes of mediterranian maquis, blue fruits and jammy berries.

Flavour

On the palate thick but refined tannins, well integrated with the oak.

Pairing

Home-made appetizers, first courses with savoury sauces, artichokes, lamb, and pot-baked grouper.
