Planeta, Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy) 2016

Dec 3, 2019

By Marguerite Thomas

 A blend of 50% Nero d’Avola, 25% Merlot, 20% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Franc, this easygoing Sicilian red offers bright red berry and cherry fruit aromas and flavors, plus a whiff of cocoa.  With its relatively low alcohol content (13%), fresh fruit nuances and light, smooth tannins this is a savory Sicilian red blend that is tasty and versatile.
