The nose offers delicacy, fruit, controlled power, a certain subtlety and a certain intensity. It reveals notes of blackberry, cassis and small notes of strawberry associated with touches of black plum as well as slight hints of liquorice, chocolate and pepper. The palate is fruity and offers freshness, minerality, delicacy, control and a good definition. On the palate, this wine expresses notes of pulpy/juicy blackberry, violet and small notes of crushed cassis associated with touches of raspberry, small pulpy red berries as well as hints of chocolate, vanilla, toasted almond and a subtle hint of olive and sage. Good persistence. A very fine chew on the finish. A beautiful wine!

About this wine
Planeta is a renowned wine producer located in Sicily, Italy. The company was founded in 1995 by Alessio, Francesca, and Santi Planeta, who were passionate about producing high-quality wines that reflect the unique terroir of Sicily. Planeta has since become one of the most respected wine producers in Italy, with a reputation for producing exceptional wines that are both elegant and complex.
One of Planeta's most popular wines is the Plumbago, a red wine made from the Nero d'Avola grape variety. The Nero d'Avola grape is native to Sicily and is known for producing wines that are full-bodied, rich, and complex. The Plumbago is no exception, with its deep ruby color and intense aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and spice.
The Plumbago is made using traditional winemaking techniques, with the grapes being hand-harvested and carefully selected before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, which gives it a subtle hint of vanilla and oak.
The result is a wine that is both elegant and powerful, with a rich and complex flavor profile that is sure to impress even the most discerning wine connoisseur. The Plumbago is best enjoyed with hearty meat dishes, such as grilled steak or roasted lamb, and is sure to be a hit at any dinner party or special occasion.
Overall, Planeta's Plumbago is a must-try for anyone who appreciates high-quality wines that are both elegant and complex. With its rich flavor profile, traditional winemaking techniques, and unique terroir, the Plumbago is a true testament to the skill and passion of the Planeta family.
