Planeta Rosso
Vineyards in Planeta's Segreta Winery
Wine waiting to be shipped to Varanos
A beautiful day in Sicily
It seems as though I’ve spent the last month blogging about wines from the south of Italy. The truth is, there are so many nice wines that are reasonably priced and pair perfectly with our food. Planeta is one of the two powerhouses in Sicily, they have property dating back to the sixteen hundreds and have spent the last twenty years improving on the quality of wines imported by the United States from Italy.
The newest winery of Planeta is located in Menfi, which is in the southeastern part of Sicily, where the heart of the Planeta’s operation is. A Rosso under the Segreta label is produced here, utilizing the indigenous grape, Nero D’ Avola, blended with international grape varieties, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Cabernet Franc. The results are worth noting, Planeta produces wines that are approachable and food friendly. The fact that they are reasonably priced is an added bonus.
This is a wine you can enjoy in the afternoon as an aperitif, or with a dinner of barbecued meats or meat risotto, or even medium to strong cheeses. The wine is very versatile and can satisfy any number of palates. I’ve had this wine with rigatoni in a spicy tomato sauce with smoked bacon. Get creative and enjoy a great bottle of wine.
During the month of July, Varanos will be featuring this wine. Our goal is to introduce our customers to multiple “Go To” wines that are reasonably priced. Our updated Wine List will be out on Friday July 2nd, our “Wines by the Glass” section will host many of our monthly wine specials we’ve had in 2010. We look forward to a great summer and hope all our customers will in some small way, be influenced by some of our special selections. It’s great learning about wines from different regions, don’t be intimidated by the grape varieties. Use your sense of adventure and expand your palate. The best part is sharing your new discoveries with your friends.
