Description

Imagine yourself on the slopes of a majestic volcano, where ancient vines cling to the mineral-rich soil, nourished by the sun and the sea breeze. This is the essence of Planeta's Etna Rosso Contrada Feudo di Mezzo, a wine that captures the raw beauty and untamed spirit of Sicily. Crafted from 100% Nerello Mascalese grapes, grown in the unique terroir of the Feudo di Mezzo vineyard on Mount Etna, this wine is a true expression of its origin. The Planeta family has been dedicated to showcasing the potential of Sicilian viticulture for generations, and this wine is a testament to their passion and commitment. The 2023 vintage offers a vibrant ruby color and an enticing aroma of red berries, such as cherry and raspberry, intertwined with hints of spice and volcanic earth. On the palate, it is dry and elegant, with a refreshing acidity and smooth tannins that create a harmonious balance. The mineral notes derived from the volcanic soil add complexity and depth to the wine, making it truly unique. This Etna Rosso is incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes. Its bright acidity cuts through rich flavors, making it an excellent accompaniment to grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces. For a true Sicilian experience, try it with pasta alla norma, a classic dish of eggplant, tomato sauce, and ricotta salata. It also complements earthy flavors, so it's a great match for mushroom risotto or roasted game. Serve it slightly chilled, around 16°C, to enhance its aromas and flavors. Allow the wine to breathe for about 15 minutes before serving to fully appreciate its complexity. This wine can be enjoyed now, but it will also evolve and develop further complexity with a few years of aging. Bring the magic of Etna to your table and experience the passion and dedication that goes into every bottle of Planeta Etna Rosso Contrada Feudo di Mezzo. It's more than just a wine; it's a journey to the heart of Sicily.
