Planeta - Burdese

GRAPE VARIETY: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Cabernet Franc

APPELLATION: Menfi DOC, Sicily

WINE DESCRIPTION: Planeta's Sicilian version of the classic Bordeaux blend made in Sicily. A full-bodied red wine, built on a dense and important tannic structure, balanced by an increasingly controlled alcohol content. The nose is typical of the two grape varieties, with mint, goudron, cocoa, and grapevine and wood incense. The flavours are dense, with blueberry and sour cherries in spirit mixed with tobacco, cocoa, rosemary, and seaweed, generally reminiscent of the Mediterranean scrub.

FOOD PAIRING: A bold, strong and energetic wine to be enjoyed on its own or with equally strong and distinctive dishes such as stews or game meats. It also pairs well with Sicilian sausage with spices and meat rolls. For a vegetarian alternative, try grilled radicchio with aged cheese or roasted, almost caramelized onions.
