WINE DESCRIPTION

Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria is a premium red wine produced by Planeta, a renowned winery in Sicily, Italy. The wine is made from a blend of two indigenous grape varieties, Nero d'Avola and Frappato, grown in the Cerasuolo di Vittoria appellation. The vineyards are located in the southeastern part of Sicily, where the soil is rich in limestone and clay, providing ideal growing conditions for the grapes. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels. The resulting wine is a medium-bodied, elegant and complex red with notes of red fruits, spices, and a hint of minerality.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Cerasuolo di Vittoria from Planeta is an exquisite example of the blend of Frappato and Nero d’Avola.On the nose, it offers captivating aromas of wild strawberry, raspberry, and anise, with a hint of savory herbs. On the palate, it is silky, with bright red fruits that are balanced by fine tannins and refreshing acidity. The finish is long and elegant, with a hint of almond and spice. This is an exceptional wine that pairs beautifully with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, and aged cheeses.
