TASTING NOTES

This Nero d’Avola from the Planeta winery takes its name from the vibrant purple flowers which grow wild amongst the vineyards vines. 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 at Tenuta Ulmo, a historic location recently renovated as a winery by the Planeta family. This is a true Nero d’Avola cru, produced from grapes from the oldest vines and vinified as a monovarietal wine. Following the harvest, the Nero d’Avola grapes arrive at the wine cellar where they are fermented in stainless steel tanks. They remain there with the skins for a two-week maceration at a constant temperature of 25 degrees Celsius. After gentle crushing, malolactic fermentation takes place, again in stainless steel vats. From January, the wine rests in large wooden barrels for the next eight months. Nero d’Avola Plumbago is an expressive, characterful wine. It is an invitingly vibrant purple in colour. Aromas of wild blackberries, plums, and incense rise from the glass, becoming sharper on the palate and opening up into notes that are reminiscent of dark chocolate and Sachertorte against a softness of round tannins. This red is perfect for pairing with grilled or smoked red meats or for enjoying over a barbeque with friends. 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.
