2021 Planeta Etna Rosso
Grape
Nerello Mascalese
Its Origins
"Diego Planeta, along with Giacomo Rallo of Donnfugata and Lucio Tasca d’Almerita, is one of the three founding fathers of the “Sicilian wine renaissance” sparked 10 to 15 years ago. Cousins Francesca, Santi and Alessio Planeta hold the reigns to the estate today and have developed one of the most innovative and modern wine entities in Italy (they are among the most “liked” wineries on Facebook). The Planeta family boasts a gifted hand in marketing and their hard work has only helped to develop the “Sicily” brand within the many foreign markets they penetrate." Parker's Wine Advocate, Monica Larner
What The Critics Say
93/100 James Suckling
"Pretty orange blossom with cranberry and crab apple aromas as well as watermelon. Medium body with fine and polished tannins that shows energy and length. Very fine-textured at the end. Drink now or hold."
92/100 Kerin O'Keefe
"Lithe and polished, the focused 2021 Etna Rosso from Planeta shows class and precision. Made entirely with organically farmed Nerello Mascalese grown on the Northern Slope, it has alluring aromas of iris, berry and Mediterranean scrub while the linear, elegant palate offers up ripe red cherry, white pepper and star anise before a saline close. Smooth tannins and fresh acidity keep it balanced. Drink through 2029. Abv: 13.5%" Drink 2023 - 2029
92/100 WinesCritic.com, Rafaelle Vecchione
"Black plums, blackberries, toasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate describe the main scene of this monolithic and well-structured Etna Rosso. Full body, well-smoothed tannins, slightly rustic in the mouth and a finish with warm and enveloping tones. Drink now."
