An intriguing wine with an extraordinary vital energy based on wild fruits, wild strawberries, mulberry & pomegranate. An extremely gastronomic version of Cerasuolo which we like very much for its meaty peppery notes. In the mouth the wine reflects its olfactory impressions & thus we happily re-encounter the black pepper mixed with carob & sweet cherries. Quick on the palate with a very savoury rounded finish with hints of mulberry. ...

Single-variety Chardonnay whose characteristics which has made it so famous which here emerge very clearly. Starting from the richness of its deep clear golden but transparent colour one imagines the pleasing contrast of creaminess & crispness in the taste. It is indeed a soft white wine underlaid by a refreshing acid vein which accompanies each mouthful. A slight mineral suggestion combines harmoniously with the flavour of ripe yellow peaches, acacia honey & marzipan & with some peaty, cereal & toasted aromas which precede the powerful balanced finish. ...

Deep straw yellow in colour with a green hue. Intense & full of character, with integrated aromatic notes of citrus & tropical fruit, white peach, pink grapefruit & wisteria. On the palate it has plenty of character with elegantly mineral elements. The acidity is well integrated with the fruit, making for a harmonious whole which is without a doubt one of the finest examples of this variety to be found anywhere on the planet. An excellent partner for full flavoured starters, fresh goats cheese (especially Sicilian!) or rich seafood. In Sicilian cuisine it is paired with oranges, fennel & anchovy salad, stuffed sardines, spaghetti with seafood, lobster or pasta with Trepan pesto. The grapes are crushed & destemmed; the juice is clarified through settling overnight & then inoculated with a selected pure yeast. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, where it is kept on its lees for five months before a light fining & bottling. ...

Inspired by a pink Sicilian sunset, this wine has a light & attractive nose with notes of rose petals, pomegranate & strawberries. On the palate, the wine is silky smooth, light & fresh with no angularity & a beautiful finish. This wine has few limits: excellent as an aperitif, with light pasta dishes or even with fruit, fillet of grouper with tomatoes, spaghetti alla Norma, warm octopus & potato salad, pasta with fresh tuna & courgettes, sea-food, oysters, raw sword fish & sushi, salami made with black Nebrodi pork, fresh hard tuma cheese. The Syrah grapes come from the Planeta family's Dispensa winery & are harvested slightly earlier than usual. The grapes are destemmed & soft crushed after 4-5 hours of maceration in the press; the juice is clarified through cold settling overnight & then inoculated with selected pure yeast. Fermentation & ageing in stainless steel vessels. ...

A very spicy & fruity wine, brilliant & clear, perfumed with carob, bergamot, incense & orange peel. The compact ripe fruit & balsamic notes on the palate dissolve in a sweet & vigorous manner to accompany tannins of dense texture but also open & calibrated to the structure of this wine of deep baritone tones. Traces of graphite confer elements of a high tasting lineage while cleverly elicited wild blackberry & black cherry maintains the wine on a register of rigorous style & taste. A wine which has no fear of the riskiest matchings such as pork marinated with chilli pepper or dishes of fish with rich fibrous flesh. ...

Available

Ruby red to deep violet tones. Intense & persistent on the nose with notes of black fruits like cherry & blackberry; chocolate, leather & spices integrated with creamy vanilla & nut coming from the wood. On the palate the wine is full bodied, velvety & warm. Ending with soft & sweet tannins & with a long sumptuous finish. ...

Available

An elegant Chardonnay which presents soft white stone fruit characters of white peach & nectarine over a ripe citrus core. A touch of smoky, savoury oak combined with a line of pure mineral acidity gives incredible freshness & length to the finish. This vintage in particular shows a capacity to age gracefully over time & will reward careful cellaring. ...
