Colour Intense and vivid ruby red colour. |

Bouquet currants and mulberries with a final spicy and minty note |

Flavour ripe wild fruit, balanced by a full and grassy taste in a very pleasant way. The tannins are soft and well smoothed thus conferring a very versatile character to this wine. |
La Segreta bears the name of the woods surrounding our Ulmo vineyards.
This wine has always been produced exclusively from the vineyards owned by the Planeta family for centuries, cultivated with passion and according to sustainable and organic agriculture criteria. Its first label was graphically related to an ancient 18th-century map of the area, to underline the family’s deep roots and presence on site since ancient times. Today it appears in a totally new and refined look. This time we took inspiration from the theme of Sicilian nature – both inside the bottle and out – drawing from the work of an eminent Sicilian pharmacist, Giuseppe Riggio, who, between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, created a “erbario picto” with the help of a painter, depicting Sicilian flora with great precision and poetry. The new label offers a collection of herbs, flowers and roots, expression of the hidden and powerful beauty that is revealed only to those who know how to appreciate it. A richness of aromas and taste fully developed in these wines.

Winemaking
the grapes are picked and transported to the winery in small and medium-sized trolleys. Once at the winery they are destemmed and pressed, then sent to stainless steel vats of 114/160/213 hl. The grapes are stirred three times a day with very brief pumpings – between 12 and 25 minutes – according to the phase of fermentation, in order to respect the skins and the fruit as fully as possible. The fermentation lasts 7/8 days, the temperature in the first phases is maintained at about 16-17 °C and then, when approaching the conclusion, the refrigeration is suspended and the final degrees of alcohol are achieved with temperatures between 24-25 °C. Once the fermentation is finished, the skins are decanted. The malolactic fermentation occurs in the same vats, and once completed, between November and December, after the decanting following the malolactic, maturation begins, still in the stainless steel vats.
