The Burdese di Planeta is born from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc grapes from the Menfi and Sambuca di Sicilia areas, in the province of Agrigento. The original vineyards are located on partially clayey soils with little gravel, and partially on calcareous soils with a rich loamy fraction, at an altitude ranging from 75 to 430 meters above sea level. The harvest was carried out by hand with a yield of 60-70 quintals per hectare. During red vinification, alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel at a maximum temperature of 26-27°C with a must maceration on the skins for 12-15 days. Aging took place for 16 months in first-pass Alliers oak barriques.

BURDESE PLANETA: TASTING NOTES

The Burdese di Planeta presents itself with an intense ruby red color. On the nose, it expresses notes of ripe berries intertwined with balsamic hints of rosemary, and notes of leather and dark spices. The taste is enveloping and fleshy, supported by smooth tannins and a long balsamic and spicy finish. It pairs excellently with aged cheeses and flavorful land-based recipes featuring red meats or game.
