Planeta La Segreta Rosso 2006

Sicily, ItalyThe workhorse Planeta wines are the La Segreta blends - both the bianco and rosso. Now at just under the $20 mark they should have wide appeal. The Planeta La Segreta Rosso 2006 is a curious blend of néro d'Avola with merlot, syrah and cabernet franc. The nose is fresh sporting dried herbs, cassis, and smoky licorice cherry notes. The entry is soft with supple tannins and bright red berry fruits and spice. Elegant and fresh there is a whiff of dried herbs in the aftertaste. Impressive food wine. Planeta suggests fennel flavoured grilled sausages as a pairing.Tasted: 03 October 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
