Mamertino DOC Planeta 2017

Mamertino di Milazzo DOC is a red wine made by the renowned Sicilian winery Planeta . It is obtained from a balanced blend, composed of 60% Nero d'Avola grapes and the remaining 40% Nocera grapes. Both varieties are native, but the second is less common. Its origins are very ancient, as evidenced by the label dedicated to the Mamertini population, which in Milazzo produced a first version of this noble wine. These lands have always been suited to viticulture, thanks to the fertile soils and favorable microclimate. In the second half of September the grapes are harvested manually. In the cellar, they are subjected to careful selection and after destemming they ferment in steel tanks with a stay on the skins for two weeks. Aging takes place in large wooden barrels, where the wine rests for a year before being bottled. Mamertino di Milazzo DOC reserves pleasant satisfactions immediately or after 2-3 years of storage in the cellar.
