Planeta - Santa Cecilia

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Nero d’Avola

APPELLATION: Noto DOC, Sicily

WINE DESCRIPTION: Intense red with violet nuances. Balsamic, herbaceous and very different fruit notes on the nose. Opens with notes of Mediterranean scrub and scents of lamellaria piled up on Sicilian beaches. Red fruit hints of drunken cherries, overripe wild blackberries; citrus fruit hints of bergamot and bitter orange. Spicy hints of carob flour and incense. The ripe fruit on the palate blends well with the tannin of the wood in accompanying a tannin of dense but open texture calibrated to the structure of this wine with a complex and unmistakable personality.

FOOD PAIRING: A vin de garde which is not afraid of classic pairings. Red meat, though well matured and marbled; still better with more intense flavours like game, lamb and black pig or even sliced sausage.
