Planeta Wines Santa Cecilia

Tasting Notes

A Sicilian heartthrob, rich with ripe blackberry, orange peel, carob and balsamic droplets and an underlayer of graphite keeping things respectable.

About

Santa Cecilia is Planeta's flagship wine using the most important Sicilian grape variety, Nero d’Avola.

After long research into finding the best place to produce a great wine from this grape brought us to Noto, where the DOC Noto insists that the variety originates, at the southern extremity of Sicily. With its white soils and its ancient vines this is the epicentre of cultivation for Nero d’Avola.

Santa Cecilia is an expression of elegance, power, balance and eminence of the unique aromas of Sicily, and today is the reference point for red wines produced from indigenous Sicilian grapes.

After fermentation and racking, the wine is aged in barrique (2 and 3 year old) for 14 months.

Ideal with...

A wine which has no fear of the riskiest matchings such as pork marinated with chili pepper or dishes of fish with rich fibrous flesh.
