Planeta | Sicily
Planeta Winery is one of Sicily's leading wineries, spanning five of the island's wine-growing regions. Following Planeta's story is like taking a wine journey through Sicily from west to east. This winery also started small and has worked its way up to the top Italian league since the mid-1990s. The first vines were planted on the Ulmo estate back in 1985. Today, high quality wines and olive oils are produced in the five different growing areas and offered with the same family hospitality as in the early days. Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta have chosen to press wines from the uniqueness of the Sicilian terroir, perfectly expressing their origins. - Gerardo [TS08/22]
"Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta, the protagonists of the glorious family business that has turned the Sicilian wine scene upside down with its production and promotion strategies, are already harboring another new plan. After having demonstrated the diversity of the island's terroir in Menfi, Sambuca, Noto, Vittoria and Castiglione di Sicilia, on Mount Etna, they now want to revive Mamertino in Capo Milazzo, a nectar that the ancient Romans already used to sweeten their hours of rest. In view of the previous successes, expectations on the part of connoisseurs and critics alike are naturally high." - Gambero Rosso
"It is the symbolic winery for the liberation of winemaking in Sicily. It was founded a little more than twenty years ago, and from the first moment its leadership consisted of some very young entrepreneurs: Alessio, Santi and Francesca Planeta, who immediately brought a fresh wind of renewal with extraordinary effectiveness. Today there are five Planeta cellars in different areas of Sicily, and the production is more tiny. The enthusiasm and passion, and many valuable wines have remained." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)
