WINE MAKING PROCESS
Planeta Rosé is made from grapes that undergo a brief maceration of about one hour for color. The resulting must is statically decanted, and the clear portion ferments in stainless steel tanks at 14-16°C for 8-10 days. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in stainless steel and stirred weekly on its fine lees to enhance its color, aromas, and texture. The grapes are harvested from vineyards located at 70-75 meters elevation in Menfi, with soils described as chalky and moderately limey.
