La Segreta, which takes its name from the surrounding woods near Ulmo, is a charming cuvée of Grecanico, Chardonnay, Viognier and Fiano. On the nose it has a fresh, youthful citrus fruit and floral nuances, always balanced on the palate, with style and Sicilian personality. SUPERIORE.DE

Delightful ruby red with violet reflections, in the nose hints of currant, mulberry and raspberry, held together by cyclamen and musk scents. On the palate dense fruit, the tannins sweet and lively. A wonderful and authentic Sicilian. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red with sparkling core. Attractive nose of ripe forest berries, blackcurrants and some Amarena cherries. Harmonious on the palate with fresh juiciness and well-integrated tannin, slightly salty, easy to drink". Falstaff

Fresh cuvée from Syrah and Nero d'Avola. Light and tempting, with a scent of rose petals, pomegranate and wild strawberries, well balanced and soft on the palate, and a pleasantly fruity rosé aftertaste. SUPERIORE.DE

The second vintage of the pure Grillo is an extremely classic Sicilian, aromatic and intense in the nose with notes of pink grapefruit, balanced and complex on the palate. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, silver straw yellow. In the nose marked by mineral undertone, salty, candied lemon zest. Juicy palate with dancing acidity, tight and brisk, spans a lively arch, crisp and fresh in the final." Falstaff

"A round-textured and fruity white with sliced mangoes and apples. Medium to full body. Oily. Volcanic salt. Flavorful finish." James Suckling

With a fruity Mediterranean scent of white and yellow fruits and a finely balanced, velvety smooth taste, the Alastro seduces. A very aromatic and yet extremely fresh companion for many occasions! SUPERIORE.DE

Golden yellow, fresh, aromatic muscatel citrus scent, dry and balanced on the palate, with fine notes of elderflower and invigorating acidity. A beguilingly round wine with a long final and perfect acidity - for us one of the best dry Moscati in Italy. SUPERIORE.DE

A pure Frappato is a rare variety, because the very late maturing grape variety is usually blended with others. Frappato thrives on the sandy soils of Vittoria in south-eastern Sicily and produces a complex wine with race and character. Floral bouquet with aromas of cherry and peach, on the palate notes of strawberry, light mineral and slender, in the aftertaste reminiscences of apple and orange peel. SUPERIORE.DE

"Aromas and flavors of candied watermelon, together with white pepper and lemon rind. Light body. Fresh, clean finish. More like a dark rosé." James Suckling

"Aromas of strawberry, red cherry and white pepper follow over to the polished, savory palate, along with hints of smoke and pomegranate. It's silky and bright, with fresh acidity, making it incredibly delicious to enjoy now." (Editors' Choice) Wine Enthusiast

The Cerasuolo di Vittoria - an established local red wine with great tradition and just as much peculiarity. Typical scent of Vittoria wines: Aromas of red berries, cherries, prickly pear, ginger and fruit sweets. Tasty, extremely complex, fresh, lively and yet balanced. SUPERIORE.DE

Country Dance (controdanza) is a typical dance in which man and woman face each other and unite in graceful movements - depending on gender, the dancers interpret the music in their own way. This wine is exactly the same: Nero d'Aola and Merlot - opposites attract each other and, with the right empathy, can adjust wonderfully to each other and form harmony and contrast at the same time.

Strong purple. Mulberry and plum contrast with incense and balsamic notes. The grapes all come from calcareous soils, which in turn builds the bridge and makes this young wine balancing and harmonious. Soft tannin and a beautifully integrated delicate acidity carry Controdanza into a smooth, medium-long finish. SUPERIORE.DE

"Made predominantly with Nero d'Avola with a touch of Merlot, this offers aromas of dark berry, baking spice and underbrush. The savory plate offers black currant jam, vanilla and a hint of green peppercorn accompanied by fine-grained tannins." Wine Enthusiast

"There’s some good freshness on the nose of this Sicilian red, which offers aromas of raspberries, citrus and boysenberries. Some cloves, too. Full body, plenty of textured fruit and a bright, compote-laden finish." James Suckling

Nocera - this noble vine is cultivated on a few hectares in the province of Messina, on a spectacular vineyard surrounded by the sea. Deep and intense ruby red, original scent of white pepper, geranium and summer fruit. Convincing the typical taste of this old Sicilian grape. An unforgettable experience from the Planeta-Dependance Capo Milazzo on the coast north of Mount Etna. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright ruby red. In the nose of fragrant cherries, full of raspberries, rose petals, underlaid with fine spices. Juicy entry to the palate with fresh fruity nuances, spans with grippy tannin, very juicy middle part, in the final light salt with young tannin." Falstaff

"Exotic cherry and spice nose. Lots of personality and interest on the nose. Gorgeous raspberry and blood orange on the palate with fantastic, energetic acidity. Great length and has bags of interest. This begs for a grilled, unadorned tuna steak." Jancis Robinson

"This is bright and vivid with tight and firm tannins that frame beautiful crushed raspberry and blueberry flavors. Medium body. Bright finish." James Suckling

Beautiful, pure white wine from Carricante from Planeta's new winery on Etna. A youthfully exuberant growth full of freshness, energy and minerals. Grown under exclusive conditions on volcanic soils and at altitudes of 870 meters, this wine is an exceptional pleasure. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2018 Etna Bianco has a beautifully polished and glossy approach with star jasmine, bergamot, lemon blossom and lighter tones of crushed stone and ash. The wine is extremely linear, tight and fresh with a lovely progression of aromas that recalls the precision, brightness and lightness you get from this unique white grape on the volcanic soils of Etna." Robert Parker

"Elegant and savory, this linear white offers delicate scents of spring blossom and yellow stone fruit along with a whiff of citrus. The crisp palate boasts tension and energy, offering yellow pear, apricot, Meyer lemon and tangy mineral notes of saline alongside racy acidity." Wine Enthusiast

Etna Rosso comes from the Torreguarino and Pietramarina vineyards on Etna. Fine spicy notes on the nose, aromas of ripe raspberries on the palate. Dense, with lots of fruit, compact tannin. Elegant and authentic. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sporting one of my all-time favorite labels in Italian wine (with an etching of an exploding Etna), the 2018 Etna Rosso is a mid-weight red with smoky and tarry aromas that intermingle with red fruit, cassis and toasted almond. You also get blue flower and wild rose, but of course, those volcanic signatures are what gives this wine its compelling raison d'être." Robert Parker

"Watermelon and citrus fruit come through here on the nose and palate, as well as some pumice. Medium to full body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish." James Suckling
