Planeta Frappato Vittoria 2017

Sicily, ItalyPlaneta has 6 estates on the island of Sicily, and this comes from the red sands of Acate, in Ragusa, and from their estate Mogli vineyard, close to the sea. After seven days on skins, this is gently pressed into stainless for ferment and aging. This pale, medium red opens with a swing of VA before snaking into worn leather, crushed roses, mustard seed, dried rosemary, pomegranate, all laced with a prevalent salinity that lingers on the finish. Acidity buzzes this to the herb-scented finish. Smashable, and smartly so.Tasted: 11 September 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
