Planeta - Plumbago Nero d'Avola Sicilia 2020
A Sicilian Serenade in Every Sip
The Planeta Plumbago Nero d'Avola Sicilia, a vibrant embodiment of Sicily's winemaking prowess, sets itself apart with its unique blend of tradition and modernity.
Made exclusively from the Nero d'Avola grape, Sicily's most important and widely planted red wine grape variety, this wine offers a rich tapestry of flavors and aromas. Each grape is a testament to the fertile volcanic soils of Sicily, imparting a distinct character that is both bold and refined.
Planeta Plumbago Nero d'Avola 2020 presents a delightful journey through Sicilian winemaking. Its flavor profile is a symphony of ripe plums, wild blackberries, and balsamic notes, balanced by a background of incense, jasmine, and black truffle. This wine is not just a drink; it's an experience that embodies the essence of Sicily, offering a perfect blend of fruit-forward freshness and refined tannic texture.
Hailing from the Ulmo estate in Sambuca di Sicilia, Planeta's approach to winemaking combines traditional techniques with contemporary innovation. The grapes, benefiting from the unique terroir of calcareous soils and ideal climatic conditions, are carefully harvested and undergo meticulous winemaking processes. This includes fermentation in stainless steel vats and aging in wooden barrels, ensuring that each bottle of Plumbago is a celebration of both heritage and modernity.
This wine's rich and fruity profile makes it an excellent match for traditional Sicilian dishes like pasta alla Norma and grilled pork ribs. Its natural sweetness and smoky undertones also make it a perfect companion for grilled meats and savory sauces.
