Controdanza - PLANETA 750ml x 1 bottle

Controdanza, meaning "country dance," is a traditional rural dance from this region where partners gracefully move together, sometimes alternating. This wine, a blend of Nero d'Avola cultivated in Noto's white soils and a small amount of Merlot, offers a unique and unconventional combination, beautifully balancing harmony and contrast.

The addition of Merlot, grown in the same calcareous soil, contributes to a livelier taste. This wine is characterized by balanced acidity and soft tannins.
