Long aftertaste
Super serious stuff — a month ago
Blend of blend of 60% Carricante, 25% Catarratto, 10% Grecanico and 5% Minnella, aged in French oak for 10 months. Pale lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits adding honeysuckle blossom. On the palate flavors of apple, apricot and lemon citrus with creamy vanilla wrapped in generous acidity, long finish ending with wet stone minerality. Nice! — 11 hours ago
We had this at GIANNA in New Orleans and it was spectacular! — 22 days ago
For a big winery, Planeta, in my experience, makes very good wines that reflect their terroir faithfully. This is quite earthy on the nose initially but, with air, bright raspberry/cherry fruit blossoms, along with clean minerality. Zesty and bright on the palate. Great wine for many different kinds of tomatoey pastas and for pizza. — 23 days ago
Lovely morello cherry flavours, mouthwatering acidity, lovely structure. Very elegant. Get again — 9 days ago
Way better on day two after opening. A lot of earth and herbs. Plums, cherry, good amount of tannin. I feel like if this was distilled it would be fernet. There’s a lot of herbs and forest greenery, but it still manages to stay light and fruity enough to make it really enjoyable. Looking forward to trying more Sicilian wines. — a month ago

First bottle had oxidation and was a touch towards vinegar.
2nd bottle was fresh and gorgeous. Great fruit flavors. Somewhat apricot and floral. Lovely. — 3 days ago
