Product Details

Code: PLAN001

Planeta is a well-regarded, large scale wine producer based in western Sicily but with vineyards across the Italian island. The six individual estates cover a variety of terroirs, varieties and methods of production. For five centuries Planeta family has been involved with the course of agricultural evolution in the complex land of Sicily, with an approach always inclined to openness and innovation.

The history of Etna is studded with the historic eruptions which have shaped it. That of 1614 is legendary, lasting 10 years and the longest ever recorded, halting just on the border of the vineyards of Sciaranuova. A name strongly evocative of Cru dell’Etna. Carricante with a small addition of Riesling. High altitude black soils confer a fresh, savory and mineral style.

Golden color does not anticipate the explosion of aromas of ripe fruit and the aromatic load of white flowers which magically transport the drinker to the slopes of the volcano. On the palate the wine also succeeds in combining softness and boldness of taste with a drinkability rich with the authentic fruitiness of lemon peel and green apple, linked to a fascinating minerality which prolongs the finish.
