More of an international style wine than Planeta's Santa Cecilia, this wine has a deep the ruby red color, spicy nose of pepper, cloves and ripe fruit and concentrated dark berries, cocoa and exotic spice flavors; this is a robust wine that's quite round and smooth in the mouth with a pleasingly woody-oaky finish; match with roasted or grilled lamb or baby kid as well as flavorful cheeses, especially mature Pecorino; established in 1985 and now invested by the Prada Group, Planeta is one of Italy's most dynamic wine producers with award-winning traditional and international style Sicilian wines.
