Pretty, floral raspberry/strawberry fruit. Juicy bright red fruits, lively acidity, gently grippy tannins. Midweight, some length. Attractive wine in a lighter style.

Planeta’s flagship red is a lush, modern wine that showcases Nero d’Avola’s vast enological potential. The aromas are deep, layered and generous and draw attention to chocolate fudge, creamy espresso, plump cherry and smooth blackberry preserves. The finish is silky and long with bright notes of red fruit and spice. Dusty tannins back the robust structure.——W.E.(3/1/2008)—— 91
