{"product_id":"eruzione-1614-pinot-nero-planeta-2023-75cl","title":"Eruzione 1614 Pinot Nero, Planeta 2023 75cl","description":"\u003cp\u003ePinot Noir grown on the side of an active volcano, at 820 metres, in black lava sand. That is the pitch, and it is not marketing — Planeta's Eruzione 1614 comes from a tiny plot of 3,000 vines on the terraces of Sciaranuova, on the edge of the lava flow left by Etna's decade-long eruption that began in 1614.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlaneta planted here to chase altitude and volcanic minerality, and Pinot has actually been grown in pockets of Etna for centuries. The mineral-rich lava soils and the cool mountain air give this a version of Pinot you will not find in Burgundy or California — it is genuinely its own creature. Farmed organically under the SOStain protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe aromas are striking: flint and ink first, then wild plum and cherry — savoury and mineral before it is fruity. On the palate it is lively and elegant at once, the tannins velvety but reactive, with the acidity you would hope for from a mountain red. \"Good vibrations,\" as the estate puts it. James Suckling scored the wine 94 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt £46.99 you are paying for something rare and specific rather than famous — a small-production, high-altitude Etna Pinot from one of Sicily's finest houses. For the curious drinker who has tasted everything, this is a proper find. Drink now to 2028.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe at 14–16°C in a Burgundy bowl. A short decant helps the flint and volcanic notes open up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNoble Rot Soho, exactly the sort of oddity their list champions. Planque in Haggerston. Bibendum for a quiet, considered glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoast quail or grilled pigeon suits its wild, mineral streak. Otherwise a mushroom and thyme tart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56925276799300,"sku":"HO33904B23","price":46.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/HO33904B23.png?v=1784037251","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/eruzione-1614-pinot-nero-planeta-2023-75cl","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
