Majestic's datasheet gives the fruit: currants, pomegranate, plum and rosehip on gentle acidity. The grape is Nerello Mascalese, which Planeta calls intensely aromatic where it grows it on Etna. Vivino has too few ratings on this wine to add a score.
Pearly pink in the glass. Currants and pomegranate come first, then plum and rosehip, the deeper notes Majestic's own buyers pick out. Nerello Mascalese keeps its scent even when made pale; Planeta calls it intensely aromatic where it grows the grape on Etna.

StrawberryLight and dry at 12.5%, with the red fruit carried on gentle acidity rather than anything sharp. There is no oak and no sweetness. The texture is soft and the wine is clean from start to finish.
Clean and fresh, with the rosehip note lasting longest.
Sold in the UK through Majestic and not listed on Planeta's own site. This note is built from the grape, the estate's own account of its farming and the shop's datasheet, because Vivino has too few ratings to score it. Drink it cold and young, with fried fish.
Majestic is the only UK shop listing it, at £17.00 a bottle or £13.00 each in any mixed six. The 2025 is the vintage on sale, sealed with a screwcap.
Four scores out of ten. It rates highest for someone new to Italian wine, then with food and as an everyday bottle, and well on value at £13 in a mixed six.
Soft, fruity, dry and sealed with a screwcap. There is nothing to learn before you enjoy it.
Fried food, seafood, tomato dishes and mild spice all fit. Only heavy meat and hot chilli do not.
At £13 in a mixed six, light at 12.5%, this is a weeknight bottle by design.
£17 alone is a lot for an entry rosé. £13 in a mixed six, from an organic Planeta vineyard, is fair.
A pleasant summer pink from a good name, but not a bottle that marks an event.
Made to drink within two or three years of the harvest. It does not improve.
Scoring is rule-based and deterministic. The model and weightings are documented in our Wine Fit Score methodology.
A compact view of what the Sicilia denomination actually requires, and how this bottle sits inside it. Pulled from the official Italian disciplinare.
The 2025 is the current release, bottled young to keep the fruit fresh. Planeta's whole farmed area has been certified organic since 2021, so this vintage carries the organic mark on the label.
The 2025 is the current release, bottled young to keep the fruit fresh. Drink it within two or three years of the harvest, well chilled.

Planeta is a Sicilian family in its seventeenth generation, a founder of the SOStain sustainability programme in 2011 and certified organic across every vine since 2021. Nerello Mascalese is the grape it grows on Etna's 1614 lava flow.
Italian wine law sorts bottles into a pyramid. DOCG sits at the top: tightly drawn boundaries, prescribed grapes, mandatory ageing, government tasting before release. DOC is the same idea with looser thresholds. IGT (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) is broader still, requiring only that 85% of the grapes come from the named territory.
Sicilia is in the DOC tier. That is not a quality verdict, it is a description of how much freedom the producer has at vinification and ageing.
Sicilia falls within Sicily, covering Sicily: the whole island, from the Trapani coast in the west to the slopes of Etna in the east.

Planeta says every vineyard, olive grove, almond grove and cereal field it farms has been certified organic since 2021. Organic farming means more passes through the vines and more hand work than spraying does.
A rosé like this goes from press to bottle within months, in steel, under a screwcap. Nothing sits in a barrel and nothing waits in a cellar, so no money is tied up before sale.
Planeta farms at Menfi, Vittoria, Noto, Etna and Capo Milazzo. Making a rosé at that scale spreads the cost of presses, tanks and bottling lines across a lot of wine.
Majestic sells it at £17.00 on its own but £13.00 a bottle in any six. The shop, not the winery, sets that gap, and it is where most of the price movement on this wine happens.
Duty on a 12.5% wine is £2.87 a bottle on the February 2026 rates, and VAT takes a fifth of the shelf price. About £5.70 of the £17 is tax, and about £5.05 of the £13.
Majestic's own match is fried fish and seafood. A pale, dry rosé with gentle acidity also handles Sicilian swordfish, tomato and mozzarella, and mild spiced prawns. It loses to big red meat and fierce chilli.
Majestic's own match for this wine is fried fish and seafood. Frying leaves oil on the tongue, and a cold, dry rosé with gentle acidity washes it away without fighting the food.
Try with: Arancini · Pizza Fritta · Gnocco fritto · Fish and Chips · More pairings →
Swordfish, mussels and octopus are lean and salty. A light rosé from a red Sicilian grape has just enough fruit to meet them and enough freshness to keep the plate lively.
Try with: Pesce spada alla Siciliana · Impepata di cozze · Polpo alla pignata · Fregula ai frutti di mare · More pairings →
Ripe tomato is sweet and sharp at once, which is hard on a white and too much for many reds. A pink wine with currant and pomegranate fruit sits right between the two.
Try with: Insalata Caprese · Pizza Margherita · Pasta alla Norma · Pappa al Pomodoro · More pairings →
Salty bread and cured meat make a light wine taste fruitier. This rosé has no tannin to turn bitter against the salt, so it works as the glass you open while the table fills up.
Try with: Crescia · Focaccia Barese · Panzerotti · Peperoni Cruschi · More pairings →
At 12.5% with no oak, this wine has nothing that chilli can set alight. Mild, creamy spiced seafood matches its light body, and serving it cold takes the edge off the heat.
Try with: Prawn masala · Fish pakora · Tandoori prawns · Chicken Katsu Curry · More pairings →
A slow-cooked or char-grilled red meat dish simply flattens a wine this light. Very hot chilli does the reverse and makes the wine taste thin and sour. Keep it for lighter plates.
Skip with: Brasato al Barolo · Fiorentina steak · Szechuan beef · Chicken madras · Pairing guide →
This is a rosé to drink within two or three years of the harvest, cold. There is nothing to gain from keeping it, and the screwcap is there for convenience, not for the cellar.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Aim for the cooler end on a warm day; warmer end opens up more aromatics.
Made to drink within two or three years of the harvest. It does not improve.
£17.00 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.

Yes. Majestic sells it as organic and vegan, and Planeta says its whole farmed area, vines, olive groves, almond groves and cereals, has been certified organic since 2021.
Pearly pink, with currants and pomegranate, then plum and rosehip, on gentle acidity. It is dry and light at 12.5% alcohol.
Fried fish and seafood, which is Majestic's own match. It also suits Sicilian swordfish, mussels, tomato and mozzarella, and mild spiced prawns.
£17.00 a bottle at Majestic, or £13.00 a bottle when you buy any six wines. Two Majestic customers have reviewed it and both say they would buy it again.
No. Drink the 2025 within two or three years of the harvest, well chilled. It is made for freshness, not for ageing.
