TASTING NOTES

Among the altitude and lava soils of Etna, the Etna Rosso Euzione 1614 of the Planeta winery was created, a young winery that since 1995 has quickly positioned itself among the most important wine producers in Sicily. ‘1614’ commemorates the date of Mount Etna’s longest eruption, which lasted almost 10 years, with the lava flow stopping right here in the district of Sciaranuova, which can be visited today, including its historic dwellings. The estate is located on the northern slope of Etna. This dark terroir is rich in the remains of diverse lava flows along with ash and organic matter which enrich the soil. The land reaches 800 metres above sea level, giving the wine added freshness and minerality on the palate. Fermentation in stainless steel, resting on the lees for 21 days, racking and ageing in oak barrels for 12 months: these are the secrets behind the vinification of a wine that evolves and impresses over time. A bright red colour accompanied by fragrant notes of hibiscus, currants, and that captivating wild fennel that explodes in character and personality on the palate with firm but respectful tannin and small red fruits that smooth out the imperviousness of a lavish sip. A Nerello Mascalese perfect with red meats, braised, stewed or grilled, in a classic family Sunday lunch Read more Read less
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.
