On the palate, it displays a remarkable balance between \u003cstrong\u003edense, silky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and refined freshness. Its intense ruby colour heralds a complex bouquet, characterised by \u003cstrong\u003enotes of cocoa and black pepper\u003c\/strong\u003e, cherries in spirit, and liquorice. Its spicy texture pairs beautifully with \u003cstrong\u003ebraised red meats\u003c\/strong\u003e, mature cheeses, and dishes from oriental cuisine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the Maroccoli vineyard, located in Sambuca di Sicilia, in the renowned Menfi area.

The wine matures for about a year in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e from Allier, which define its elegant character. A final period of \u003cstrong\u003ebottle ageing\u003c\/strong\u003e ensures the achievement of perfect harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1985 on the hills of Menfi, the Planeta winery chose to enhance this noble grape variety in the heart of the sunniest and driest part of Sicily.
