Tasting notes
The 2020 Santa Cecilia, a varietal Nero d'Avola, lifts from the glass with a dark and brooding mix of crushed plums, cloves, stone dust and a lifting hint of camphor. This is round and supple with juicy acidity that maintains lovely energy, and bright red and blue fruits cascade across the palate. The 2020 finishes with a bitter tinge of savory spice and hints of sour citrus while leaving a coating of fine tannins to resonate. The 2020 is quite pretty and balanced for mid-term cellaring.

One of the icon wines of Sicily, the Planeta 2020 Sicilia Noto Santa Cecilia is all Nero d'Avola dressed up with elegance and precision. The wine is softly textured and layered with dark fruit, black cherry, spice and sweet tobacco. Santa Cecilia embraces a classic approach with good balance between generous fruit and carefully managed oak.
