TASTING NOTES

Alastro is named after a wild flower which grows around the wine cellar of Tenuta Ulmo. It also features on the label of this Sicilian white wine. This is Menfi DOC land: on the east coast of Sicily around Lake Arancio. It features deep soils, rich in pebbles, at an altitude of up to 400 metres above sea level. The designation includes wines that are produced in the area up to 16 km inland from Sciacca. Grecanico and Sauvignon Blanc grapes are cultivated in this splendid pedoclimatic environment. These two grapes are used to produce Alastro Menfi DOC white wine, which is created from 80% of the Grecanico variety and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. The vinification process allows for the must to rest on the fine lees for six months in stainless steel with bâtonnage. This enhances the characteristic notes of the two varieties of grape: the minerality of the Grecanico and the fragrance of the Sauvignon. In the glass, this wine is light and young, while on the nose, tropical notes and hints of broom, peach, and cedar emerge. In the mouth, it truly unmasks itself, the power of the Grecanico being perfectly moderated by the fragrance of the Sauvignon, with more forceful, intensifying aromas of white melon.

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.
