TASTING NOTES

Production

The alastro is a wild flower that grows spontaneously around the Tenuta Ulmo winery and is depicted on the label of this Sicilian white wine. It is right here in Menfi, on the east coast of Sicily between Lake Arancio, deep soils rich in pebbles and an altitude reaching up to 400 metres above sea level, that the Menfi DOC extends, encompassing wines produced in the area within 16 km inland from Sciacca. In this splendid soil and climate, Grecanico and Sauvignon Blanc are cultivated; the former accounts for 80% and the latter 20% of the blend, giving rise to the Alastro Menfi DOC white wine. The winemaking process involves leaving the must on the fine lees for 6 months in stainless steel tanks with bâtonnage, so as to enhance the two characteristic notes of the two base grape varieties: the minerality of Grecanico and the aromatic richness of Sauvignon. 100 ml: E=310 kJ/75 kcal

Organoleptic Characteristics

In the glass, the wine flows lightly and youthfully, whilst on the nose it reveals tropical notes of broom, peach and citron. On the palate, it reveals its true character: the power of Grecanico is tempered by the aromatic richness of Sauvignon, unfolding with greater vigour and highlighting aromas of white melon.

Occasion and Pairing

Mediterranean in style and eclectic in spirit. The perfect companion for your vegetarian dishes or a signature seafood platter. Alastro strikes a rare balance between the structure of Grecanico and the liveliness of Sauvignon Blanc.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 10–12°C.

THE WINERY

Planeta

The Planeta winery has been producing wines for generations. The family's tradition and passion has been passed down for decades, and is still the main engine that connects each stage of processing. The company boasts six different estates located in six different parts of Sicily, each of which is committed to creating Sicilian wines of the highest quality. The Ulmo estate is located in Sambuca di Sicilia, while the processing of the Dispensa estate takes place in Menfi. The Dorilli winery is located in Vittoria, while Buonivini operates in Noto. Feudo di Mezzo stands out against Etna, in Castiglione di Sicilia, while the work of La Baronia remains in the Capo Milazzo area. A very diverse production, therefore, capable of creating multi-faceted wines. The total area of vineyards exceeds three hundred hectares, all of which are raised with the utmost care and with full respect for the differences of individual territories. This is a long and thorough work, requiring precision and great knowledge of the raw material and soil characteristics. Not only that, it requires inordinate passion, which you can find in every glass of wine produced. Name and address of producer/distributor: Planeta - Contrada Dispensa, 92013 Menfi (AG). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
