Planeta Rosé Sicilia BIO 2025 is a modern, subtily Sicilian rosé wine from the Menfi area, made from 40% Nero d’Avola, 40% Syrah and 20% other varieties. Planeta describes it as elegant, fresh, organic, clean-styled and very gastronomic.
The aroma reveals notes of currant and pomegranate, complemented by deeper nuances of plum, pineapple, rosehip, green tea and wild apple. The aromatic profile is not only fruity - it has both a gentle florality and a light salty, Mediterranean-like freshness.
The wine is very soft, smooth, with moderate, neatly integrated acidity. This is a rosé that relies more on textural elegance than on pronounced acidic tension.
The wine is produced in the Menfi area, from the Dispensa and Gurra vineyards, located 70-75 m above sea level. The soils are medium-deep, tending towards chalk, calcareous, which help to maintain the light, precise and fresh character of the wine.
Winemaking: After a short maceration of about an hour, the juice is clarified at low temperature for 36 hours, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 14-16 ° C for about 8-10 days. The wine is then kept for some time with the lees, stirring them periodically to enhance the aromatic expression and texture. Maturation takes place exclusively in stainless steel tanks, thus preserving the pure fruitiness and freshness.
Serve at a temperature of 10-12 °C with salmon ceviche, fresh vegetable salad or fruit.
