This wine helped bring Sicilian Nero d'Avola red wines to the world’s attention; the wine has a purple-red color with violet hue; complex nose of red fruit, liquorice and spices and concentrated flavors of black fruit with a touch of dark chocolate and a slightly spicy, smooth tannic finish; the family-owned Planeta is now one of the best known, and most admired, Italian producers with five wineries in different regions of Scicily that make consistently excellent wines.

Allow 20 minutes for breathing and serve at 18℃; best with full-flavored pasta and meat dishes, also great with Sichuan Style Sliced Beef and Ox Tongue in Chili Sauce.

12 months in Allier French oak barrels.

Enjoy now or within next 5 years.
