Cometa 2012 - Planeta 750ml x 1 bottle

Winemaker Alessio, driven by the desire to produce high-quality white wines from indigenous Southern Italian varieties that could stand alongside the world's most renowned white wines, experimented with planting various grapes in Sicily. The unique characteristics of the grape varieties, combined with the Sicilian terroir, result in an unparalleled wine with dense and fruity aromas, excellent structure, and minerality. Today, it is one of the most important white wines of Southern Italy.

Classification: Menfi DOC

Grape Variety: Fiano 100%

Tasting Notes: A brilliant yellow-gold color. Reflecting good ripeness at harvest, it initially presented refreshing aromas reminiscent of grapefruit, white peach, and Mediterranean herbs. With aging, it has evolved into a more profound bouquet with notes of ripe nectarine, apricot, honey, and subtle hints of almond and spice. The palate is rich and rounded, yet the acidity, brought by the cool night temperatures, beautifully tightens the wine, leading to a long, mineral-driven finish. It is an elegant and highly refined aged vintage, harmonizing fruit richness and transparency.

Production Method: Grapes are hand-picked, destemmed, and pressed. 90% of the must goes into stainless steel tanks, and 10%
is fermented in 225L oak barrels for 10 days at 15°C. Both are aged on their lees for 5 months in oak barrels and stainless steel tanks, respectively. The wine from the barrels is then blended into the stainless steel tanks and aged for an additional month.

Pairing: Seafood, mushroom dishes, duck, aged cheeses, etc.
