    The farmers of Menfi call it "Burdisi". This is no nod to France – it is dialect. Burdese is the Sicilian pronunciation of “Bordolese”, and it reveals just how naturally Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc have become part of this landscape in south-west Sicily. Not as imported goods, but as part of the local vocabulary. Planeta has adopted the name – and turned it into one of the island’s most distinctive red wines. The vines are planted at the Dispensa estate near Menfi, at altitudes of up to 430 metres, in brooding, calcareous soils of medium texture. A site that provides the Cabernets with the necessary coolness to retain their aromatic precision. Limited quantity, selected plots, harvested in mid-to-late September. Aged in wood for a wine made for long ageing.

    A deep, luminous ruby red. On the nose, blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, dark spices, a hint of leather and graphite. On the palate, dense and structured, characterised by full-bodied tannins, with a long, complex finish. Few equivalents in Sicily – this is Planeta’s own interpretation, and it strikes a chord.
