Availability:In stock
Vintage: 2021
Size: 750ml
Rating: Robert Parker Wine Advocate 93, James Suckling 93, Wine Enthusiast 94, Wine Spectator 92
Intense red with violet nuances. Balsamic, herbaceous and very different fruit notes on the nose. Opens with notes of Mediterranean scrub and scents of lamellaria piled up on Sicilian beaches. Red fruit hints of drunken cherries, overripe wild blackberries; citrus fruit hints of bergamot and bitter orange. Spicy hints of carob flour and incense. The ripe fruit on the palate blends well with the tannin of the wood in accompanying a tannin of dense but open texture calibrated to the structure of this wine with a complex and unmistakable personality.

Description
Description
Santa Cecilia is our top-of-the-range wine, from the most important Sicilian variety; Nero d’Avola. The extensive research into finding the ideal place for making a great wine from this variety brought us to Noto, original territory of this variety, where DOC Noto reigns in the extreme south-east of Sicily. With its white lands and its antique vines, it has always been the epicentre of Nero d’Avola cultivation.
Santa Cecilia is an expression of elegance, power, balance and exaltation of the unique aromas of Sicily; today it is the point of reference for red wines made from indigenous Sicilian grapes. Its name derives from that of our family – Planeta di Santa Cecilia.

Serving Suggestions
A vin de garde which is not afraid of classic pairings. Red meat, though well matured and marbled; still better with more intense flavours like game, lamb and black pig or even sliced sausage.
