Planeta Plumbago 2021 Nero d'Avola Sicilia DOC, 0,75 L

Planeta is arguably the pioneer of modern viticulture in Sicily. The Menfi winery, the island's most renowned, consistently produces exceptional and accessible wines that captivate wine lovers worldwide.

Nero d'Avola, Sicily's most prevalent grape variety, is native to the region according to wine experts. This grape thrives in the heat, making it ideal for cultivation in hot climates.

Plumbago is a quintessential Sicilian wine, presenting a bright ruby-red colour with a violet hue. On the nose, it offers spicy aromas with notes of liquorice, cloves, red fruit, and a hint of vanilla. The palate boasts nice density, a good structure with grippy tannins, and an abundance of red berries. It's fleshy and extract-sweet with a beautiful, long finish.

This exciting wine from Sicily pairs excellently with red meat, pizza, and grilled dishes, making it a fantastic ambassador for the Nero d'Avola grape variety.
