Cellar
The Planeta family, of very ancient Spanish origin, has for 17 generations been committed to the promotion of Sicilian wine excellence, culminating in the great modern production reality we know today, an absolute protagonist of the Sicilian wine renaissance. The modern journey began in 1995 with the birth of the winery in Ulmo. Five estates in five different territories, Sambuca di Sicilia and Menfi (Agrigento), Vittoria (Ragusa), Noto (Siracusa), Castiglione di Sicilia (Catania) and Capo Milazzo (Messina). Different soils and climatic conditions give rise to different wines with a thousand facets, each with its own character and personality. A winemaking reality that has always been very attentive to environmental sustainability, so much so as to adhere to the 'Planeta Terra' project that has as its objectives: landscape protection, bio-architecture, renewable energy, recycled materials. With the 'Sostain' project, Planeta also combines traditional and organic viticulture with the application of scientific and technological innovations. A company that is always researching and studying native varieties, but at the same time also international varieties such as Chardonnay and Cabernet.
Description
La Segreta takes its name from the wood surrounding the Ulmo vineyard. A wine that has always been produced exclusively from the Planeta family's centuries-old estate vineyards, cultivated with passion and according to the criteria of sustainability and organic farming. For this bottle, we were inspired by the theme of Sicilian nature - inside and out - drawing on the work of an illustrious Sicilian, Giuseppe Riggio. The new label offers an alphabet of herbs, flowers and roots, an expression of a hidden and powerful beauty that is only revealed to those who know how to admire it.
An olfactory and gustatory richness that is fully manifested in these wines.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Intense, vivid ruby red colour. The nose has aromas of currant and mulberry with a faint spicy and menthol finish. In the mouth, the wine shows its fine personality with flavours of ripe berries, balanced by a full, herbaceous taste in an absolutely pleasant way. The tannins are docile and well polished, giving this red a very versatile character.
Storage time:
2-3 years
Vinification
De-stemming followed by 7-14 days on the skins at a temperature of 25 °C, after racking ageing in steel
