Noto DOC Allemanda 2024 Planeta

Allemanda by Planeta is a Moscato Bianco from the southernmost area of Sicily. The vineyards grow on soils characterized by calcareous marl with a high percentage of small pebbles and a fine, mainly clayey, light-colored texture. The viticulture is managed according to the principles of sustainability, contributing to excellent grape quality and respect for the environment.

The harvest takes place at the beginning of August, with the grapes hand-picked and refrigerated for one night. After sorting at the table, the grapes are destemmed and then pressed. The must remains at a low temperature for a few days before starting fermentation, which lasts 20-25 days in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then racked and left on the finest lees with weekly stirring for a period of 4 months, followed by bottling.

The wine’s color is a very pale yellow with greenish highlights. On the nose, notes of jasmine, rose petals, citrus fruits, pink grapefruit, and a fresh sea breeze stand out. The taste is savory and fresh, with a balance and elegance that reflect the characteristics of the terroir.

This Moscato Bianco is perfect as an aperitif and pairs well with Noto almonds, Nocellara del Belice olives, and cheeses such as vastedda or tuma fresca. It is excellent and versatile when paired with seafood dishes such as raw fish, seafood caprese, tomato and lobster cream, or with breaded prawns and other crustaceans. It is also ideal for enhancing spicy dishes with contrasting flavors. Its sunny and convivial aromatic profile makes it perfect to elevate the gastronomic experience.
