Planeta Santa Cecilia Noto Nero d'Avola 2022

A red wine from Noto, at the southern tip of Sicily, made from Nero d'Avola. It is aged for 14 months in second- and third-passage Allier oak barriques. The wine is elegant, powerful and balanced, with aromas typical of Sicilian soils. It suits red meat and sweet-and-sour fish dishes, and works with ethnic cuisine. In the glass it is purple-red tending to violet. The nose shows agile notes of cherry, ripe plum, citrus, carob and liquorice, with graphite notes. The palate is vigorous and smooth, with fresh, compact tannins and good acidity, leading to a long finish.
