2018 Planeta Santa Cecilia DOC Noto

Winemaker Notes: A very spicy fruity wine, brilliant and clear, perfumed with carob, bergamot and orange peel. 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. A wine which has no fear of pairing with pork marinated with chili pepper or dishes of fish with rich fibrous flesh. 100% Nero d'Avola. 

 
CRITICAL ACCLAIM

James Suckling - "Welcome to the modern face of Sicily's deep wine tradition. The bouquet of black plum with licorice and spice notes pulls you into this rich but beautifully balanced nero d'avola with velvety tannins that build gently through the long, polished finish. Drink or hold."
