Product Notes

Planeta Burdese Sicilia Menfi D.O.C. wine is a distinguished Sicilian red from the heart of Menfi, showcasing the richness of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape. Exhibiting an elegant blend of harmonious flavours, it exudes notes of rich red fruit, spice, and gentle tannins. Its full-bodied, exquisite character reveals an exceptional balance of acidity, giving it the capacity to age beautifully. It's a superb accompaniment to roast meats or mature cheeses. The seamless blend of fine craftsmanship and Sicilian terroir in this wine speaks to Planeta's unwavering commitment to quality. Indeed, Burdese is a delightful testament to Sicilia's viticulture.

Tasting Notes

A predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blend with Cabernet Franc, this is Sicily taking its lead from Bordeaux - but the power and dense, rich fruit are very much southern Italy, with flavours of bilberry, preserved cherries, rosemary and cocao that no Bordeaux can claim.
