Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2017
Sicily, ItalyPlaneta has 6 estates on Sicily, and this comes from the sandy soiled countryside of Acate, in Ragusa, between the sea and the Iblean mountains. Cerasuolo di Vittoria is the only DOCG in Sicily, and cerasa is cherry in Sicilian dialect. This is a blend of 60/40 nero d’avola / frappato, partially sourced and made at and their Dorilli winery. Dried scrubby rosemary, thyme, tobacco, ripe plum, pomegranate, is seasoned with olive and marine salts, lifting the medium body, while tannins are lightly sticky, reflecting the Mediterranean sun. The finish trails with anise and pink peppercorn spicing. There's much energy on the palate, making for lovely drinking now, and will certainly reward with time in your cellar.Tasted: 11 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $35.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
