Merchant's description
Planeta Didacus Rosso 2018 is a robust red wine originating from Sicily. This wine features a deep garnet colour, with a bouquet that combines dark fruits such as plums and cherries alongside herbal undertones. On the palate, the wine reveals layers of blackberry, with earthy notes of olive and spices. Aged in French oak for 14 months, it has structured tannins. This wine is suitable for pairing with rich pasta dishes, grilled meats and aged cheeses.
