Planeta - Frappato 2024
Tenuta Planeta is one of the most emblematic estates of contemporary Sicily, founded by the Planeta family and recognized for its major role in the qualitative renewal of Sicilian wines. Established across several estates throughout the island, the vineyard benefits from varied terroirs, blending maritime influences with limestone or sandy soils. Planeta's philosophy is based on precise and sustainable viticulture, enhancing indigenous grape varieties while revealing their natural elegance. The work in the vineyard and cellar aims to preserve freshness, balance, and clarity of the fruit, in a style that is both accessible and refined.
The Frappato 2024 highlights this typical Sicilian grape variety, known for its delicate aromatic profile and great drinkability. Grown on light and well-drained soils, the Frappato here expresses all its finesse. The 2024 vintage offers beautiful maturity while retaining freshness and lightness. The vinification is carried out gently to preserve the brightness of the fruit and the finesse of the tannins, with a short aging aimed at maintaining purity and energy. This cuvée embodies a modern vision of Sicilian wine, combining indulgence and elegance.
On tasting, the wine reveals an expressive nose of strawberry, cherry, and pomegranate, accompanied by delicate floral notes and a slightly spicy touch. The palate is supple, fresh, and crunchy, supported by fine tannins and lively acidity. The whole offers great drinkability, with a clean and fruity finish. This Frappato 2024 is perfectly suited to a slightly chilled tasting, as an aperitif, with tapas, grilled dishes, or light Mediterranean cuisine.
