Tasting notes
Red cherry and wild strawberry lead, with rose petal, dried herbs and a trace of volcanic smoke. The palate is medium-bodied and fresh, with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins. The finish runs long and savoury, with a saline, mineral edge.

About this wine
Planeta's Rosso Etna DOC is a compelling expression of Sicily's most celebrated volcanic terroir. Crafted from Nerello Mascalese, the signature red grape of Mount Etna's slopes, this wine captures the mineral complexity and elegance that define the region. The volcanic soils impart a distinctive earthiness, while the cool mountain altitude preserves bright red and black fruit character, all delivered at a refreshing 13% alcohol.
The Etna DOC appellation represents a renaissance in Italian winemaking, and Planeta stands at its forefront as one of Sicily's most respected producers. Their philosophy emphasizes terroir-driven winemaking that lets the unique volcanic character speak. The result is a lean, sophisticated red wine with remarkable versatility at the table. Pair this Nerello Mascalese with grilled meats, roast chicken, lamb, beef, or venison. Its mineral backbone and savory profile also complement rich cheeses like Gruyère and Roquefort, charcuterie boards, mushroom-based dishes, and truffle creations, making it an ideal choice for fine dining and villa entertaining.
