Sicilia DOC Carricante Eruzione 1614 2020 Planeta

Planeta's Sicilia Carricante Eruzione 1614 comes to life from the Sciaranuova Cru vineyard, on the northern slope of Etna, right where the lava flow of the legendary 1614 eruption stopped.

It is produced from Carricante grapes, which are harvested in crates in the month of October. A soft pressing and decanting of the must is followed by fermentation in stainless steel at a temperature of 15°C. The wine thus obtained ages on the fine lees until the entire month of March.

Planeta's Carricante Eruzione 1614 appears pale golden yellow in colour. The nose gives off aromas of ripe fruit and white flowers. On the palate it is gritty and round, with a beautiful minerality and persistence, enriched by hints of lemon peel and green apple.

Recommended in combination with fish-based dishes, it goes excellently with shellfish and seafood.
