Pinot Nero from Etna has long been the dream of the Planeta family. And the experiment has been a success: Eruzione 1614 offers many positive surprises, starting with a strong varietal identity: the natural characteristics of the grape variety surpass the obvious intensity and energy of this volcanic region. It is probably one of the most Burgundian interpretations of the grape variety in Italy (alongside Alto Adige). The purity and freshness of the wine, with its many aromatic details such as cassis, wild berries, lilac and violets, is rounded off at the end by interesting notes of crushed volcanic rock. Die-hard fans of Pinot Nero will be delighted. SUPERIORE.DE

"A powerful and juicy Pinot Noir with flavours of cherries, dry earth and some dried herbs. It is medium-bodied with silky tannins and fresh acidity. Smooth and flattering with a delicious finish." James Suckling

"The Planeta 2022 Pinot Nero Eruzione 1614 matches the medium colour intensity of the Nerello Mascalese, but this bottle is a big departure from the expected aromas of the volcano. The wine's telltale varietal character of wild berries, sweet blue flowers and freshly squeezed blood orange makes it instantly recognisable as a Pinot Noir. There is a hint of mint or sweet basil on the finish." Wine Advocate
