Description

The Sicilia Nero d'Avola DOCG Cerasuolo di Vittoria by Planeta tells the whole intensity of southeastern Sicily, a land of sun and ancient traditions. Obtained from the skillfully balanced blend between Nero d'Avola and Frappato, this wine expresses a rich and harmonious profile, unique in its category. The Nero d'Avola grape gives structure and body, with scents of ripe red fruits, plum, and spicy notes, while Frappato adds freshness and a vibrant natural acidity.

Aged in oak barrels for several months, this Cerasuolo di Vittoria stands out for its bright ruby color, intense aromas of violet and cherry, and a balanced sip that offers soft tannins and a persistent finish. Ideal to accompany traditional Sicilian dishes such as roasted meats, aged cheeses, and pasta with ragù, it is a glass that celebrates the most authentic essence of the territory.

Winery history

The Planeta family's history has been rooted in Sicily for centuries; the modern winemaking project took shape in the 1990s with the opening of the first winery in Ulmo and territorial growth that led to the establishment of wineries and vineyards in various areas of the island. Over time the company has developed a model in which each territory has a dedicated winery, supplementing wine production with olive oil and hospitality activities and completing the conversion to organic farming on much of its cultivated land.

Production philosophy

Planeta's approach is based on territorial identity: research and respect for local varieties, agronomic experimentation tailored to the different Sicilian terroirs, and practices aimed at environmental and social sustainability, with investments in projects to protect biodiversity and promote organic farming.

Terroir and vineyards

The estates extend across Sicily from west to east, with established presences in Menfi/Ulmo, Vittoria, Noto, on Etna, and at Capo Milazzo, as well as other wineries and local projects such as Dispensa, Monte Cirami and Serra Ferdinandea.
