Distinctive and stylish, this very fruity wine unfolds a fresh texture on the palate.

Planeta Cerasuolo di Vittoria is produced from Sicily's countryside around Dorilli, between the sea and the Iblean mountains, the area of Sicilian food par excellence. The name of the only Sicilian DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita) derives of "cerasa", cherry in Sicilian dialect. Produced from the indigenous varieties Nero d’Avola (60%) and Frappato (40%), it is a wine in the wake of an ancient tradition, but with a youthful manner like no other Sicilian red wine.

Cerasuolo is extraordinarily recognisable to the nose with a cornucopia of red and wild fruits; wood strawberries, mulberry and pomegranate. Next to the fruit, it is distinctive for its pleasant spicey almost oriental notes, of sandalwood, coriander and Sichuan pepper. In the mouth, the wine reflects the olfactory perceptions and happily discovers black pepper mixed with carob and sweet cherries. A lively palate with a full-bodied, rounded finish with notes of mulberry.

The heart of the Planeta winery is located in Sambuca di Sicilia, in the south-western corner of the island, and its origins date back to the 16th century. However, it wasn't until the mid-1980s that Diego Planeta embarked on his oenological adventure, succeeding in making Planeta one of the region's most dynamic vineyards and Sicily's leading wine producer. His ambition has always been to create the perfect alliance between grape variety and terroir. Today, Planeta has several estates scattered across the island's main winegrowing areas.
