Description
Planeta’s 2024 Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG is produced from the Dorilli and Mogli vineyards near Acate in southeastern Sicily. The blend joins 60% Nero d’Avola with 40% Frappato, both native grapes, on the area’s loose red sands and the deeper tufa layer that helps hold water for the vines.
Planeta’s general profile for the wine moves from cherry, strawberry and pomegranate aromas toward mulberry and an array of savory spices. Black pepper, carob and sweet cherry carry through the palate, finishing with the lively, rounded character associated with its organically farmed, SOStain-managed sites.
Critic Ratings
James Suckling Review – Rated 92:
A restrained wine with aromas of chalk, fresh flowers, iodine and red fruit. Light-bodied and lifted yet chewy, it shows a silky texture and crisp acidity. Fragrant in the finish. Drink now.
