The name Planeta doesn’t need an introduction, the name speaks for itself – they are Sicily and Sicily is Planeta. Quality winemaking and terroir driven wines with both indigenous and international grapes. They helped put quality Sicilian wine back on the map. They know what they are doing and do it very well.
Planeta Rosé 2020
Sicilia DOC, Italy
🍇 Blend of 50% Nero d’Avola & 50% Syrah
Hand harvested and macerated on the skins for a few hours to give it its delicate color.
🍷 Pours into the glass a soft pink salmon color
🍷 Swirl and the aromas of summer red berries, floral hibiscus and rose petals and citrus.
🍷 Sip and boom 💥 welcome to liquid sunshine ladies and gentlemen – crisp lively acidity, a creamy texture and fresh flavors of wild strawberries, raspberries, peach, pear, honeydew melon lemon and lime, floral, saline minerals and savory herbs all wrapped up in a pretty pink bow.
Pair with scallop carpaccio, salmon chive tartare, fried zucchini ricotta blossoms, soft cheeses or on its own as apératif.
