Powerful Reds
Description:
Available in a Magnum Bottles. Planeta has risen spectacularly since inception in 1994, being named Winery of the Year 1999. In 1996 Planeta started growing Syrah because it is the international grape variety which, more than any other, is at its best in warm regions such as Sicily. As Syrah needs a long exposure to the sunlight, Planeta believe that sunny Sicily, widely accepted as the land of its origin, is the most suitable for the production of premium quality Syrah. Planeta blended the first vintages of this variety with Nero d’Avola, however, starting from 1999, a pure Syrah wine was produced, full and rich with a spicy bouquet and aromatic notes of green figs, this is the sunniest wine of the Planeta range. The Syrah grapes are destemmed and crushed, followed by the process of extraction on skins conduced with 12 days of maceration. After draining the wine is matured in 225 litres French oak barrels for 12 months. A ruby red coloured wine with violet undertones and an Australian styled nose reminiscent of intense spices like pepper and cloves. Fig and fig sap scents predominate, and the wood notes blend into the fruit gathering into a cocoa-like complex aroma. The young tannins and fresh fruit palate are luscious and supple in texture, with an impact that is lasting. The power of this wine is due to its complexity more than just the tannin.
