GRAPES VARIETIES: Nero d’Avola
TASTING NOTE: Extremely lively ruby color with aromas of redcurrant and mulberry, finished with a hint of spice and mint. When enjoyed, the wine clearly shows the characteristics of ripe fruit, balanced with gentle herbal flavors, soft and smooth tannins that bring a delicate character to the wine.
FOOD PARING: Red Meat | BBQ | Cold Meat | Pizza | Pasta | Southern beef noodle soup | Beijing duck meat.
WINNER: Planeta
The Planeta winery quickly became the best expression of the innovation and internationalization that characterized the Sicilian premium wine industry in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Its rapid success, though deliberately and quietly planned for a decade, encouraged other Sicilian producers to believe that they could sell mid-to-high-priced international-style wines to the world market.
