Planeta Maroccoli Syrah 2018

Syrah is a noble Mediterranean grape which gives its best expression in bright dry places like Sicily. Planeta's interpretation of Syrah is produced in a modern style, respecting all the characteristics of the vine, from an extraordinary vineyard – Maroccoli at about 400 meters. Powerful and impenetrable, this is a wine destined for long aging.

Tasting Notes

A dark crimson with violet core and dark red highlights. Sweet oriental spices and a touch of toasted cocoa accompany the palate, full of sun-ripened black fruit, with wintery notes of leather. An enveloping sensation  of velvet with a minty and black pepper finish.

Food Pairing

Marinated and grilled lamb cutlets, accompanied by mint or even by an unorthodox ‘parmigiana’ with smoked cheese.
