Planeta Maroccoli Syrah 2021 is a bold, modern Sicilian Syrah that captures both the sun-soaked character of the island and the finesse of a carefully crafted premium red. Sourced from the exceptional Maroccoli vineyard, it shows why Planeta believes Syrah has a bright future in Sicily. Built for structure and longevity, this is a wine with real depth and serious aging potential.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it is deep, powerful, and almost impenetrable in color, hinting at the concentration to come. The nose typically leans toward dark berries, black pepper, Mediterranean herbs, and savory spice, with a polished, contemporary feel. On the palate, it is full-bodied and firmly structured, combining ripe fruit with a precise, expressive Syrah profile and a long, persistent finish.
This is a wine made for the cellar, and it should evolve beautifully over time, gaining complexity and integration with age.
Production
Maroccoli is an outstanding vineyard site at around 400 meters above sea level, in a pristine part of Sicily where the dry, bright climate is especially well suited to Syrah. The grapes are grown with a focus on preserving the variety’s natural character while expressing the distinctive conditions of the site. Vinified in a modern style, the wine is crafted to balance ripe Mediterranean fruit, structure, and longevity.
Food & Serving
This Syrah pairs well with grilled lamb, roasted game, slow-cooked beef, rich tomato-based pasta, and mature hard cheeses. Serve it at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for at least an hour when young to allow its structure and aromas to open fully.
Producer
Planeta is one of Sicily’s most important and respected wine producers, known for helping elevate the island’s reputation on the international wine stage. With vineyards across some of Sicily’s most distinctive terroirs, the estate has earned a strong reputation for quality, innovation, and a clear sense of place. Their work with Syrah reflects both confidence in Sicily’s potential and their broader commitment to expressive, terroir-driven wines.
