Product Description

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 9
The nose starts bubbly and sweet, with aromas of black plums, cherry and vanilla, then turns savory but still crackly, with notes of pencil shavings, pepper, graphite and leather. The palate doubles back toward juicy fruit with figs and more plums, then shifts again toward that sanguine earthiness, but textured tannins and almost silky acid unify the whole.

Wine Tasting Notes
The Planeta Santa Cecilia Noto Nero d'Avola DOC showcases a dynamic interplay between balsamic, grassy, and various fruity notes. The aromatic profile begins with hints of Mediterranean vegetation and the scent of seaweed found along the shores of Sicily. Sour cherry and ripe blackberry flavors dominate the red fruit category, while bergamot and bitter orange contribute to the citrus notes. Carob flour and incense add a touch of spice to the mix.

When it comes to the palate, the wine impresses with its harmonious blend of ripe fruit and oak tannins. The tannins are dense yet balanced, enhancing the overall structure of the wine and highlighting its intricate and distinctive character. This vin de garde is a versatile choice that can stand up to traditional pairings such as well-aged red meats, game, lamb, and richly flavored sausages.
