Description
Organic still red wine from Sicily, Noto DOC, 13.5% ABV, produced by Planeta. Blend of 85% Nero d'Avola and 15% Merlot. 0.75L bottle, 2021 vintage. A wine born from the passion of a family that has cultivated the Sicilian land for 17 generations, combining tradition and innovation. The vineyards are located in Buonivini, near Noto, on calcareous soils. Destemming followed by 14 days of maceration on the skins. Fermentation at 25°C, after racking, malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. Aged for 10 months in second- and third-use Allier oak barriques. Aromas of mulberry and plum along with notes of laurel, incense, and balsamic notes are balanced and livened up by the addition of a lively Merlot produced on the same calcareous soils. Harmonious acidity and soft tannins characterize the palate.
