Didacus Rosso, made from pure Cabernet Franc, represents the elegance and vision of the Planeta family and is an impressive ambassador of Sicilian viticulture. It comes from the vineyards of Contrada Ulmo, where the family has been cultivating French grape varieties since the 1980s - a place often referred to as the “Bolgheri of the south”. In the glass, it has a deep dark color that hints at its intensity and depth. The bouquet initially reveals floral nuances of blue flowers, followed by concentrated aromas of redcurrants, plums and liquorice, underpinned by a hint of minerality.

On the palate, Didacus delights with a silky texture and a powerful wave of black fruits, supported by an invigorating acidity that lifts the wine's expression. The finish is characterized by tart wild berries, mocha and a layer of sweet tannins that combine structure and freshness. The warmth of the vintage gives it a lush volume without losing its balance. This Cabernet Franc is an impressive expression of finesse and power - a wine that gives great pleasure both in its youth and with age. - Gerardo [TS10/18]

"The back label of the two Didacus wines - the white from Chardonnay, the red from Cabernet Franc - reads: 'This bottle contains our vision of wine. Elegance and tradition. Family and future. Sicily as we have always dreamed of it.' Menfi and its vineyards between the sea and the hills, as a place of choice for growing French varieties - almost a Bolgheri of the South - is a vision that has accompanied the Planeta family since the mid-1980s." - Falstaff

"The 2017 Cabernet Franc Didacus is dark, deep and intense, with arching blue florals giving way to masses of currants, plums and licorice. It’s silky with a dense wave of mineral-tinged black fruits carried across a core of motivating acidity that lifts the expression nicely. This leaves tart wild berries, along with hints of mocha over a coating of sweet tannins, coming across as structured yet also remarkably fresh. The heat of the vintage has pushed the volume up on the 2017 Cabernet Franc Didacus and while more-classic vintages will likely outpace it in the cellar over time, the balance here is beautiful." - Vinous
