La Segreta takes its name from the wood that surrounds our vineyard at Ulmo. This young fresh wine composed principally of Nero d’Avola grapes, the banner of Sicilian wine, gains style and personality with the addition of international grapes. All the grapes are knowledgeably cultivated in vineyards owned by Planeta. La Segreta is the versatile companion for daily drinking, suitable for the most diverse occasions. It is a perfect approach to Sicilian wine with its good relationship between quality and price, guaranteed by the Planeta family’s patient work, from vine to bottle.
An intensely vivid ruby color. On the nose aromas of redcurrant and mulberry with a slightly spicy and minty finish. In the mouth the wine demonstrates its fine personality with flavors of ripe wild fruits, balanced by a very pleasant full and herbal taste. The tannins are soft and smooth conferring a very versatile character to this red wine. The wine is ideal with Mediterranean pasta dishes and light meals of meat, vegetables or oily fish.
Blend: 50% Nero d’Avola, 25% Merlot, 20% Syrah, 5% Cabernet Franc
Wine Enthusiast awarded this as #3 Best Buy of 2023 and scored it 91 Points saying, "The nose of this wine alternates between smoky, spicy and sweet with red pepper, grilled meat, hibiscus and strawberries. Red berries on the palate enjoy the contrast of more pepper and ripe tomatoes. Tightly coiled tannins and vibrant acid keep tension high."
