Planeta, 2007 Santa Cecilia.

Grapes: 100% Nero D'Avola.

Vinification Note: Harvested during the last few weeks of September, the grapes are immediately destemmed and crushed before macerating for 12 days on the skins, during fermentation at 28 degrees C in 150hl stainless steel fermenters. After racking the wine was aged for 12 months in 225 litre Allier oak barrels.

Tasting Note: Deep and rich in colour, almost opaque with an intense nose of spice, chocolate and plums. On the palate the wine is well balanced with ripe, spicy fruit and a savoury character. The finish is long and elegant.
