Sicilia Bianco Doc La Segreta 2022 - Planeta

Description

As in the case of the bottle of the same name of Segreta Rosso , the Planeta winery, Sicilian excellence, has called this wine “La Segreta” taking the name of the wood that surrounds the Ulmo vineyard .

A young and fresh white wine made from 50% Grecanico grapes , 30% Chardonnay and 20% Viognier and Fiano respectively.

Light yellow with slight greenish reflections, the nose is characterized by well-balanced aromas of citrus, pineapple and white peach. On the palate it is fresh and well balanced between acidity, flavor and volume, never excessive. Full and aromatic finish.

Why you should drink it

Because this white is excellent if you want to get close to Sicilian wines and has a very special quality / price ratio.

Furthermore, the Planeta winery has a history that starts from the sixteenth century and tells all the Sicilian territories. A winery that really knows how to work and that does it with passion and competence. Not tasting La Segreta would be a shame!

This is the perfect wine to uncork at home with friends for an aperitif.

Fried vegetables, panelle, tempura dishes; laughter and old memories; the sun goes down, the level of the bottle of La Segreta too.

How to drink it

La Segreta - We like the White basically fresh, around 8/10 ° C.

Vinification and Aging

Static decantation of the must after destemming and soft pressing ; inoculation with yeasts on the clear; it ferments at 15 ° C in steel tanks and remains there until bottling.

Territory

From the sea to the hill, up to an altitude of 400 meters, the territory of Menfi hosts the largest extension of the Planeta winery's vineyards : they cultivate over 250 hectares, making precise choices to adapt the vines - native and international - to the specificities of the individual terroirs.

Soil

The valley was once crossed by a river, while today it has become Lake Arancio.

This helped deepen the soils, with an abundant skeleton made up of pebbles. The higher soils are instead more calcareous and clayey. The slope guarantees perfect drainage.
