ETNA BIANCO, PLANETA 2020

WINE REVIEW

One of the best Etna Bianco’s on the planet. Dangerously delicious : with grapes you’ve probably never hear of..

Planeta Etna Bianco D.O.C. is a high-quality Italian white wine made from grapes you’ve probably never heard of but are utterly delicious. Mount Etna is home to some of the worlds best volcanic grapes and shows a great depth of character and minimality to all the wines grown in the “shadow of anger”. Looking at the Bianco you would be mistaken if you didn’t see a yellow straw colour to its appearance.

No stinky aroma coming from the opening of the bottle but put it up to the nose for a ‘sniffy sniff ” test and you get delicate white flowers, citrus and a touch of stone fruit – most notably peach. Super fresh and great acidity this is a zesty punch of summeryness on the palate.

Established nearly 30 years ago Planeta’s ethos is patience and attention to detail. Never rushed and never swayed by pressure.

It sits , as a result, between old traditions and modern winemaking. Very much involved with environmental sustainability ( landscape conservation, renewable energy, recycled materials and sustainable agriculture)

Not only is it a joy to drink these wines from Planeta but every wine and every grape you know has been loving cared for. If they said that every grape was wrapped up in its own blanket id believe them !!!

Expect to pay £50 + in a restaurant but a lot less if you click on the link below !
