Transparent and bright ruby red.

Taste

Taste

Substantial but smooth in the mouth. Very expressive fruit with more complex aromatic elements of undergrowth, myrtle and oriental spices. A wine which unexpectedly transforms into a champion of drinkable red wine with marked savoury flavour and a tasting profile produced by a ferrous touch, rhubarb and very evident black pepper.

Serve at:

14 -16 °C.

Longevity:

10 - 15 years

Decanting time:

1 hour

To say Planeta is to say the best Sicilian wine reality.Closely linked to the place where it is located, the Cantina Planeta offers a series of labels of great territorial adherence, truly unique: La Baronia in Capo Milazzo, Dispensa in Menfi, Buonivini at Noto, Feudo di Mezzo on the Mount Etna in Castiglione di Sicilia and Ulmo in Sambuca di Sicilia.These are the places where the Cantine Planeta wineries are located, whose history has been handed down since the XVI century, by no less than 17 generations.It is a project that always keeps its gaze fixed on the past, but immersed in the present with a focus on the future. This is manifested both through the link with the ancient Sicilian winemaking tradition symbolised by indigenous varieties such as: Carricante, Frappato, Grecanico, Nerello mascalese, Moscato di Noto and Nero d'Avola, and by international varieties such as Merlot, Chardonnay and Syrah.Xtrawine offers you a wide range of Planeta wines that have received major awards from AIS, from the best vintages of 2016 and 2017.All the Planeta wines featured on Xtrawine are characterised by intense fruity and floral aromas and a strong flavour.

Origin Castiglione di Sicilia (Catania).
Climate Altitude: 510 m. a.s.l.
Soil composition The land has perfect aspect and position, black from lava sands, and thus extraordinarily rich in minerals, surrounded by woods and more recent lava flows.

Yield per hectare 4,500 kg/hectare.
Harvest By hand with crates, between the 15th and 25th of October.
Wine making The grapes, if necessary, are once refrigerated at 10°C after harvest, and selected by hand. The grapes are destemmed and crushed with fermentation at 23°C in wooden vats and in stainless steel vats. They remain on the skins for 14 days, with a mixing and two manual stirrings each day, decanted with the help of the vertical press. The wine obtained thus matures in wooden and stainless steel vats for 6-8 months.
Aging In wooden 50 hl vats and stainless steel.
