Planeta Sicilia Syrah DOC Maroccoli 2021

A red wine from Planeta in Sicilia, made from Syrah grown in the Maroccoli vineyard, 400 metres above sea level. It matures for 12 months in Allier oak barriques, one third of them new. Imposing and impenetrable, it is a wine built for long ageing. The colour is an intense ruby red tending to violet. The nose has spice blended with red fruit confiture, including blueberries and blackberries, alongside mint chocolate, black pepper and cinnamon. On the palate it is enveloping, rich and soft, with polished tannins. It suits smoked cured meats, game and Oriental cooking.
