Planeta has risen spectacularly since inception in 1994, being named Winery of the Year 1999. They strive to release the potential of Sicily's native grape varieties, in this case, Grecanico and Fiano. A wine with a straw yellow colour and greenish tinges. On the nose fine floral and fruity aromatic notes of jasmine, orange blossom, citrus peel, and particularly grapefruit are evident. On the palate a fresh and balanced acidity supports the floral and fruity characters, giving to the wine a perfect correspondence from nose to mouth. A richly flavoured Sicilian white made from the local Grecanico and the famous Chardonnay grape varieties. It is crisp and zingy with aromas of fresh greengage and gooseberry. (6 x 75 cl)

Planeta Syrah IGT Sicily
Description: 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.

La Prendina Pinot Bianco Garda DOC
Description: The Azienda AgricolaLa Prendina was acquired in 1958 and at first the wines were sold under the Cavalchina brand. The first wine to use the name of La Prendina was a Merlot bottled in 1980 for Gualtiero Marchesi, but it was only in 1990 that the wines were sold under the name La Prendina. An excellent varietal, but often rather temperamental to cultivate, it produces a wine that is medium bodied and with a fresh, clean flavour.The grapes are picked during the early part of September, pressed and the must is fermented at 18 0 C for about two weeks. Next the wine is taken off the lees and there is no malolactic fermentation. Finally, it is bottled in December to retain its freshness and released from the beginning of January. In the vineyard La Prendina aims to grow full flavoured concentrated grapes while the task in the cellar is to express the nature of the grape and terroir. This has produced an absolutely delicious blend of citrus fruit and balancing acidity that shows just how good the Pinot Bianco variety can be. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £118.40
