Planeta La Segreta Il Rosso Sicilia 2019 750 ML

Smooth and enjoyable, this easygoing red has aromas of wild berry and dried botanical herb. On the enjoyable palate, lithe tannins accompany ripe cherry, cassis and peppery notes. Producer Information Planeta is a well-regarded, large scale wine producer based in western Sicily but with vineyards across the Italian island. These cover Etna and Noto in the east, to Vittoria in the south and Mamertino di Milazzo in the northeast and Menfi (where the main winery is located) in the west. Planeto produces a range of high-end wines across the IGT and DOCG levels from select appellations. The winery was founded by cousins Alessio and Santi Planeta with their uncle Diego, who originally owned the Settesoli wine cooperative. At Planeta, there are six different wine-producing estates spread across the island, producing wines from local grapes Fiano and Nero d’Avola, as well as international varieties like Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot.
