Planeta, Capo Milazzo, Mamertino, Sicily, Italy, 2015

Planeta has helped return the Nocera variety to its rightful place among Sicilian wines. Discreetly red-fruited on the nose, with refined cherry aromas and a light, meaty tone. It is medium-bodied, but its fine acidity gives intensity. This Mamertino is linear and poised, with elegance rather than flesh,but its drive gives a long, concentrated finish. Perfect with a veal chop.
