Alastro - PLANETA (Sicilia) 750ml x 6btl

Named after a wildflower that grows around our winery - is a blend mainly of Grecanico with a small percentage of a distinctly aromatic variety: Sauvignon Blanc. Splendidly aromatic, delicately structured, with aromas of tropical fruit, fresh citrus and white flowers.

Denomination: Menfi DOC

Grape Variety: 80% Grecanico and 20% Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes:
This vintage of our Grecanico has given its best through an exceptional balance between strength and elegance. On the nose the mineral and floral notes are perfectly integrated with each other, aromas of cedar, melon, pears and wild white flowers, boxwood. In the mouth it is vibrant, but creamy and silky with a white peach note.

Vinification:
after destalking and soft pressing, the must is decanted at a low temperature and ferments at 15⁰C; when fermentation has finished it matures on the lees for up to 6 months in stainless steel vats where a batonneur holds the lees in suspension.

Food paring:
The contrast between savoury and sweetness confers a gastronomic strength that makes it suitable for matching with simple dishes such as a warm seafood salad as well as with more complex ones like a spicy Asian dish with sweet sour sauce. It can be matched with appetisers of Mediterranean cooking and with vegetarian cookery. Serve at 10⁰C.
