Descrizione

The Burdese Sicilia IGT by Planeta is a red wine of great structure and intensity, reflecting the richness and complexity of the Sicilian territory. Produced primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grapes, this wine has a deep color and a complex bouquet intermingling notes of ripe red fruits, spices, and a light touch of vanilla, derived from aging in French oak barriques.

On the palate, the Burdese is robust and well-balanced, with an elegant and lasting tannic texture. Flavors of blackberry, cherry, and plum blend harmoniously with hints of black pepper and chocolate, leading to a long and satisfying finish. The acidity is well balanced by the alcohol and the structure of the wine, making it an excellent companion for rich and flavorful dishes such as grilled red meats, stews, and aged cheeses.

The aging phase in barriques, which lasts about 14 months, endows the Burdese with a complexity and depth that will evolve favorably for several years in the cellar. This wine is a distinctive example of Planeta's ability to produce high-quality red wines that authentically express their terroir of origin.

Ideal for lovers of full-bodied and sophisticated Sicilian wines, the Burdese by Planeta is a prestigious choice that will enrich any wine collection and add a touch of elegance to any table.

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.
