Rosé of Nero d'Avola, Planeta

watermelon • blood orange • rose petal

This is a clean, fruit-driven rosé that leans into ripeness without losing its edge. Blood orange and white cherry lead, followed by a light floral lift and a subtle savory note that keeps the wine from feeling soft. The texture is smooth but not heavy, finishing dry with enough freshness to keep it moving.

The 2023 vintage reflects Sicily’s warm, sun-driven growing season, giving the wine generous fruit while still holding onto enough acidity to stay balanced. It shows more openness and approachability than a cooler vintage, without tipping into excess.

Fermented entirely in stainless steel and bottled young, the focus is on preserving aromatics and clarity rather than adding structure. The result is a polished, fruit-forward style that still maintains definition.

Planeta is one of Sicily’s most influential producers, with estates across the island and a long track record of elevating modern Sicilian winemaking. Their rosé program highlights Nero d’Avola in a lighter, more versatile expression.

This is a rosé built for versatility, with enough character to stand on its own but the balance to work across a wide range of food. It’s the kind of bottle that feels easy at first, then reveals more structure the longer you sit with it.
