Rosé Sicilia DOC 2022 (BIO)
Planetas Rosé exudes a fragrant bouquet of freshly cut roses, wild strawberries, pomegranate and wet stone. Silky and smooth on the palate with a spicy, saline blend of mineral apples and pears giving way to pretty inner flowers. Lingers long on the finish, recalling all the fruity and floral notes on the nose and palate. Well done! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Rosé is spicy and blends gravel with grapefruit and young kiwi. It feels round and silky and gains grip with the inclusion of saline minerals. On the finish, the 2022 is incredibly fresh, leaving tropical melon and a gentle hint of sour citrus." Vinous
"Notes of dried herbs and citrus peel with pink cherries and rose petals on offer. Medium-bodied, tangy and a little phenolic with vivid acidity cutting through. Racy finish." James Suckling

“La Segreta Il Rosso” Sicilia DOC 2021

“Controdanza” Rosso Sicilia Noto DOC 2018
The country dance (controdanza) is a typical dance in which man and woman face each other and unite in graceful movements - depending on their gender, the dancers interpret the music in their own way. This wine is exactly the same: Nero d'Aola and Merlot - as is well known, opposites attract and, with the right intuition, can adjust wonderfully to each other, forming 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 again bridges the gap and makes this young wine balancing and harmonious. Soft tannins and beautifully integrated delicate acidity carry Controdanza into a smooth, medium-length finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Lustrous ruby with orange tinges. Alluring deep nose of forest fruit with notes of new oak. The palate is supple and concentrated and not heavy at all. Succulent finish with soft, grainy tannins and a hint of cinnamon stick and tomato stalk. Super-likeable." Jancis Robinson
"With a mix of ripe plums, crushed stone, violet pastille, hints of brown sugar and licorice, the 2018 Nero d'Avola di Noto Controdanza seduces the senses. Its silky textures wash a contrasting blend of tart wild berries and salty minerals across a core of vibrant acidity. Grippy tannins mount toward the close, buried beneath a saturation of dark primary fruits, all under an air of purple-tinged inner florals. The 2018 Controdanza will require a year or two of cellaring to soften. This is a powerful blend of 85% Nero d'Avola and 15% Merlot from Planeta’s Noto property in the extreme southern tip of Sicily." Vinous

Frappato Sicilia Vittoria DOC 2022 (BIO)
A pure Frappato is a rarity, because this very late-ripening grape variety is usually blended with others. Frappato grows on the sandy soils of Vittoria in southeastern Sicily and produces a complex wine with race and character. Floral bouquet with aromas of cherry and peach, on the palate notes of strawberry, slightly mineral and very energetic, reminiscent of apple and orange peel in the finish. Ideal food companion. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Frappato is remarkably pretty, with a perfumed display of wildflowers, lavender, wild strawberries and wet stones. This is juicy and pure in style with pepper-tinged wild berries and sour citrus nuances. It finishes with a gentle grip yet lively and fun, tempting the taster back to the glass for more. The 2022 is an absolutely lovely Frappato." Vinous

Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG 2021 (BIO)
Cerasuolo di Vittoria - a seasoned local red with great tradition and just as much character. Typical fragrance of the wines from Vittoria: Aromas of red berries, cherries, prickly pear, ginger and fruit sweets. Tasty, extremely complex, fresh, lively and yet balanced. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2021 Cerasuolo di Vittoria wafts up, more savory than sweet, with smokey earth tones and crushed rocks giving way to black raspberry. This washes across the palate with mineral-tinged red and blue berry fruits complicated by inner herbal tones. Brisk acidity maintains energy throughout as the 2021 tapers off with a salty flourish, leaving licorice and spice hints to linger." Vinous
"Bright ruby red with violet shimmer. Intense nose of fresh strawberries and raspberries, then slightly spicy and a hint of bitter chocolate. Salty on the palate, with a fine acid spectrum, well-integrated and fine-grained tannin, long final." Falstaff
"Aromas of black cherries and blood orange slices. Medium to full body, undertones of orange peel and a juicy finish. Clean, focused and genuine. Delicious all round." James Suckling

“Dorilli” Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico DOCG 2018
Cerasuolo di Vittoria Classico Dorilli is named after the vineyard Dorilla from which the grapes originate and this in turn after the nearby river Dirillo. Fine and elegant with light wood tones from the ageing, juicy fresh until the long final. SUPERIORE.DE

SUPERIORE.DE
"Elegant and refined nose, pleasantly aromatic, with notes of nougat, fresh herbs, ash, bergamot and a touch of minerality. Elegant and lively." Decanter

"A blend of licorice and rose gives way to crushed red plums as the 2021 Etna Rosso comes to life in the glass. It's soft and round with depths of black cherry and wild berry fruit offset by a savory suggestion of liquid stone. This tapers off structured with a primary concentration coating, and tart cranberry tones resonate." Vinous

“Sito dell’Ulmo” Merlot Sicilia Menfi DOC 2016
Intense and enveloping aromas of blackberry, dark fruit and cocoa. Memorable, full-bodied fruit and firm tannins on the palate, which give this Merlot its unique elegance. Pleasantly round, long and with traces of mint on the finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"A spicy, umami nose has grilled meat, sundried tomatoes and roasted peppers with some Portobello mushroom that continues on the palate, where it meets slightly sweeter but still sophisticated notes of dark chocolate and coffee, with tannins that still have their integrity." Wine Enthusiast

“Maroccoli” Syrah Sicilia Menfi DOC 2019
Fresh, bright ruby colour. The Syrah impresses with its intense and ripe bouquet with hints of figs, redcurrants, preserved cherries, blueberries, spices and vanilla. Velvety, elegant tannins accompany the opulent and lively structure through to the lingering final. SUPERIORE.DE
"Features fine-grained tannins that create a lightly grippy, defined frame for a plush, juicy range of baked damson plum and black cherry fruit, ground coffee, violet, sage and star anise flavors. Medium- to full-bodied and well-knit, with minerally accents of iron and smoke on the finish." Wine Spectator
"Berry fruit with flavours of dark tobacco and lead pencil, leading into a medium body and a juicy finish. Straightforward and taut tannins." James Suckling
"The Maroccoli 2019 is impossible to miss. It blossoms in the glass with a mentholated blend of dried strawberry, dusty rose and autumnal spice. Its style is elegant and racy, with cooling minerality and lively acidity lifting its dark red berry fruit. A layer of fine tannins gives it a youthful composure, while nuances of red plums and inner earth tones slowly fade away. The Maroccoli, a single varietal Syrah, is beautiful but suitable for cellaring. Leave it for two to three years to achieve the best effect." Vinous

“Eruzione 1614” Carricante Sicilia DOC 2019
In the history of Etna, the eruption of 1614 is legendary, as it lasted ten years and is thus to date the longest recorded eruption of the volcano that is still active today. A very impressive and fitting name for Planeta's Etna series of equally impressive wines.
Carricante from Planeta's Etna vineyard is an exceptional growth full of freshness, energy and minerality. This noble grape variety thrives under exclusive conditions, on volcanic soils and at altitudes of 870 metres. A wonderfully complex pleasure that is always released for sale only two years after the harvest. SUPERIORE.DE
"Bright, rich golden yellow. In the nose of fresh stone fruit, green apple and citrus fruit, then flint and bergamot. Taut and juicy on the palate, very fresh and with traction, mineral, citrus on the final." Falstaff
"Aromas of apples, smoked lemons and nuts with some lemon grass. Some bruised apple, too. Medium to full body. Round texture with lovely fruit and a flavorful finish." James Suckling

“Burdese” Rosso Sicilia Menfi DOC 2018
Strong ruby red with garnet reflections. Dense and intense aroma of red fruits with notes of leather, earth, spices and minerals, with hints of vanilla and sandalwood. Full-bodied on the palate, well-defined tannins supported by a dense structure leading into a long-lasting and very smooth final. A Bordeaux blend in a class of its own! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Burdese is an uncomplicated expression of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Cabernet Franc (30%) that does not impose itself. The wine is soft on the palate with medium-bodied layers of ripe cherry, plum, soft earth and leather. The tannins are immediate and soft." Wine Advocate
"This Bordeaux blend shows berries, fresh herbs like parsley and a hint of vanilla. It has a medium to full body with medium round tannins and a juicy finish. Very enjoyable now, but it will be much better in two or three years." James Suckling
"Dusty dried flowers, crushed rocks, graphite and red plums form a darkly alluring bouquet as the 2018 Burdese makes itself known in the glass. This washes across the palate with soft textures contrasted by a core of tart wild berry fruits. Mineral tones slowly saturate. A web of fine tannins adds youthful poise, nicely offset by a twang of sour citrus as the 2018 tapers off long, staining yet with wonderful balance." Vinous

Without the drive and clear quality ideas of Francesca, Alessio and Santi Planeta, Sicily would perhaps not be one of Italy's most interesting wine regions today. For among the first Sicilian wines to free the Mediterranean island from its reputation for cheap mass-produced wine was none other than Planeta's magnificent and now world-famous Chardonnay.
The reason why the Cousin trio did not immediately choose one of the many Sicilian grape varieties, but rather a French one, is that in the 1980s, the indigenous varieties were mainly used for the production of inexpensive cask wines. The ideal recipe for success was therefore to bring the unique island terroir to the outside world first and foremost with the help of grape varieties that were already internationally known - which ultimately secured the Sicilian winery a well-deserved ticket to the world's wine markets.
Planeta's Chardonnay thus demonstrated that Sicily has much more to offer than just simple bulk wine. Over the past two decades, the three young winemakers have established themselves among the most important producers on the island thanks to their high quality standards. With over 390 hectares, the focus is now also on the incredibly exciting autochthonous grape varieties, which are cultivated by the family in the predestined wine regions of Sicily.
After a long period of research in the main wineries Ulmo and Dispensa near Menfi - where they still focus mainly on the production of international grape varieties - the Planetas also expanded further south to the area of Vittoria with the Dorilli winery and later to Noto with the construction of the Buonivini winery. These locations are mainly reserved for the indigenous grape varieties, such as Frappato or the popular Nero d'Avola. However, in the search for the most demanding cultivation zones on the island, they could not refrain from also settling on the lava-spitting Etna to create outstanding volcanic wines at the Feudo di Mezzo estate. The La Baronia winery in Capo Milazzo opposite the Aeolian Islands is also part of Planeta, where the ancient Nocera grape variety thrives. Grinning, Francesca told us in conversation at the time: "And we tell ourselves every year that this will be the last winery."
This promise was obviously not set in stone, because at the same time as the 2022 harvest, Planeta's new winery opened its doors on the Monte Cirami in Sambuca di Sicilia. Here, the four top red wines are now vinified exclusively in organic production (starting with the 2022 vintage): Didacus Rosso, Burdese, Maroccoli and Sito dell'Ulmo.
The project is based on the ambition to constantly optimise the quality of Planeta wines and to create a place that corresponds to the company's production philosophy and where all the knowledge and skills are concentrated. Monte Cirami, an exceptional place in terms of landscape, represents the centuries-old harmony between man and nature. Here, great, expressive red wines are produced with enormous care. A modern winery that is careful to preserve the original characteristics of the grapes as much as possible.
"The need to create a place for the production of excellent red wines stems from the desire to dedicate equally special spaces to special wines. The idea of providing the most important wines with a physical production and processing space that meets their needs is a fitting tribute to the quality of the product and a dream we have cherished for years," comments CEO Alessio Planeta on the opening of this heartfelt project.
From west to east, the Planeta name is spread across seven boutique wineries. In order to inspire with more top Sicilian wines, the philosophy of the company puts the preservation and exploration of the breathtakingly beautiful territory at the very top. Their rich and unique wine selection, with its uncompromising quality and a Mediterranean flavour, undoubtedly reflects the true potential of the popular Italian wine island. SUPERIORE.DE
"The Planeta family boasts a gifted hand in marketing and their hard work has only helped to develop the Sicily brand within the many foreign markets they penetrate. Enormous credit goes to them." Robert Parker
