Description:
The compact ripe fruit and balsamic notes on the palate dissolve in a sweet and vigorous manner to accompany tannins of dense texture but also open and calibrated to the structure of this wine of deep baritone tones. Traces of graphite confer elements of a high tasting lineage while cleverly elicited wild blackberry and cherry maintain the wine on a register of rigorous style and taste.
Winery:
Planeta
Planeta is a sicilian family – owned winery established in 1995. Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta spent years matching the extraordinarily diverse Sicilian soils with both indigenous and international grape varieties. The result? A family of critically- acclaimed wines that demonstrate how brilliance can be attained through thoughtful marriages between grape variety and terroir. With such a quality, they succeed into bringing Sicily to the world. Planeta becomes a “Journey” around Sicily and its greatest wines. The products are innovative, contemporary and thoroughly coherent with a ritual interpretation of wines which have been almost forgotten but are historically a part of Italy.
