Alastro, Planeta 2023 (750 ml)

Nazvana po divljem cvijetu koji raste oko Planetine vinarije, ovo je mješavina zasnovana na 85% Grecanico sa 15% Sauvignon Blanc… obije sorte se uzgajaju organski i održivo. Vrlo svijetlo žute boje sa zelenim nijansama izraz je vitalnosti i dugovječnosti vina. U ovoj berbi imamo posebno aromatičnu verziju: na nosu su note planinskog bilja, žutog cvijeća, cvijeta “French honeysuckle”, meda i kruške Viljamovke... zatim citrusa, lagane note šafrana i kremena. Ukratko, ima dosta toga, ali je sve divno i očaravajuće.

U ustima je vino svježe i živahno, ali i kremasto i svilenkasto sa notama bijele breskve. Dobar je izbor za gastronomiju i dobro bi se sljubio sa salatama od morskih plodova, kao i sa složenijim jelima poput ljutih azijskih jela sa slatko-kiselim sosom. Može se kombinovati i sa mediteranskim jelima od tjestenine i vegetarijanskim receptima.

Named after a wild flower which grows around Planeta’s winery, this is a blend based on 85% Grecanico with 15% Sauvignon Blanc… both of which are cultivated organically and sustainably.  The very light yellow colour with green nuances is an expression of the wine’s vitality and longevity. In this vintage we have a particularly aromatic version:  on the nose there are notes of mountain herbs, yellow flowers, French honeysuckle, honey and Williams pears… and well as citrus, light notes of saffron and flint.  In short, there is a lot going on, but it’s all wonderful and beguiling. 

In the mouth, the wine is fresh and vibrant, but also creamy and silky with notes of white peach. It’s a good choice for gastronomy and would pair well with seafood salads as well as with more complex dishes like spicy Asiatic dishes with sweet-and-sour sauce.  It can also be paired with Mediterranean pasta dishes and vegetarian recipes.
