Tasting Note

In this case, the very faint golden colour does not anticipate the explosion of aromas of ripe fruit and the aromatic load of white flowers which magically transport the drinker to the slopes of the volcano. On the palate the wine also succeeds in combining softness and boldness of taste with a drinkability rich with the authentic fruitiness of lemon peel and green apple, linked to a fascinating minerality which prolongs the finish.

Product Notes

Planeta Eruzione 1614 Carricante Sicilia D.O.C. is a white wine that has a rich, bright and pale yellow color. It comes from the Carricante grape variety, grown in high altitude vineyards situated on the slopes of Mount Etna. The volcanic soil of Etna gives the wine a unique character, with hints of citrus, orange blossom, and a minerality that lingers on the palate. Its pronounced acidity and full-bodied nature make it a perfect match for seafood dishes, grilled white meats, and pasta with light cream sauces. This elegant and complex wine is ideal for those who enjoy a wine with a good balance of fruitiness and acidity, complexity, and length.
