“La Segreta” Nero d’Avola Sicilia DOC 2021
Ruby red colour with violet reflections. On the nose, typical varietal aromas of ripe plums, cocoa, wild fruits and a flawless spiciness with traces of white smoke. On the palate, full and wide and of beautiful juiciness with very soft, well-integrated tannins and a fruity, finely spicy finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Wild herbs and wet stones give way to crushed blackberries as the 2021 Nero d'Avola La Segreta opens in the glass. It's soft and round on the palate, with herbal-tinged wild berry fruits and saline mineral tones that add grip toward the close. The 2021 finishes staining and long with grippy tannins that stick around. Freshness is maintained through a bump of residual acidity. La Segreta Nero d'Avola will perform best alongside a hearty meal." Vinous

La Segreta, which takes its name from the surrounding woods near Ulmo, is a charming cuvée made from Grecanico, Chardonnay, Grillo and a small proportion of other grape varieties. The bouquet has fresh, youthful citrus fruit and floral nuances, while the flavour is always balanced, with style and Sicilian personality. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2023 Bianco La Segreta lifts from the glass with a honeyed sweetness that accentuates a mix of wildflowers and candied lime. It's soft and round, with crisp minerality up front that gives way to crunchy orchard fruits and hints of ginger. This finishes spicy with medium length, closing with a pleasantly tart tinge of sour lime." Vinous

“Allemanda” Moscato Sicilia Noto DOC 2022 secco (BIO)
Golden yellow, fresh, aromatic muscatel-citrus flavour, 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
"Fresh and slightly steely nose with limes, white flowers and freshly cut green apples and peaches. Very crisp and fresh on the palate with medium-high acidity and a refreshing, crisp finish. A very good aperitif." James Suckling
"The nose is the end of a picnic on the beach, as the smell of low tide starts to overpower the sweetness of fruit salad and the vegetal aroma of sea grass. On the palate, that salty blast emphasizes the savory, sophisticated qualities of the fruit and a mix of spices, before the sleekness of almond skin emerges for a gliding finish." Wine Enthusiast

“Controdanza” Rosso Sicilia Noto DOC 2020
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 - opposites attract and, with the right sensitivity, can harmonise and contrast wonderfully.
Strong purple colour. Mulberry and plum contrast with incense and balsamic notes. The grapes all come from chalky soils, which in turn creates a bridge and makes this young wine balanced and harmonious. Soft tannins and a beautifully integrated, delicate acidity carry Controdanza into a supple, medium-length finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Medium ruby colour with garnet-red reflections. Inviting on the nose, fruity flavours of cherry and wild berries, underpinned by spicy notes. Full fruit on the palate, dense tannins, mouth-filling, juicy with a lingering final." Falstaff
"Fragrant, with floral, spicy and mineral accents, this wine displays a creamy palette of plump cherry and warm fig fruit flavours, enveloping slightly chewy tannins. Fresh, long-lasting finish." Wine Spectator
"Aromas of baked cherries, mushrooms, basil and grated nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied with fine tannins. Beautifully ripe red fruits on the palate, with a subtle savoury character. Finishes with vanilla." James Suckling
"The nose starts with a balanced blend of vanilla and herbs, then becomes a little sharper, but remains balanced with flavours of pepper, pencil shavings and black cherries. On the palate, the tension between fruit and earth continues, with the cherries hovering over herbal, umami undertones. The acidity dances past the chewy tannins." Wine Enthusiast
"The 2020 Controdanza opens with a burst of wild berries and spices, complicated by chalk dust and hints of crushed violet candies. This is juicy and lively on the palate with vivid wild blueberry fruit and purple/blue inner florals that amass toward the close. It finishes classically dry with a pleasantly bitter tinge, leaving notes of licorice and sage to slowly fade." Vinous

Cerasuolo di Vittoria DOCG 2022 (BIO)
Cerasuolo di Vittoria - an established local red with great tradition and just as much character. Typical aroma of the wines from Vittoria: Aromas of red berries, cherries, prickly pear, ginger and fruit sweets. Flavoursome, extremely complex, fresh, lively and yet balanced. SUPERIORE.DE
"Notes of juicy cherries and boysenberries are underscored by tar, smoke and grilled herbs in this lively, light to medium-bodied red wine that finishes silky and savoury." Wine Spectator
"On the nose, there are aromas of cherry blossom, raspberry and blood orange, as well as spicy notes of pencil shavings and black tea. On the palate, cherries and raspberries macerate, but the sanguine, almost chalky bitterness of the tea leaves lingers before a salted chocolate finish." Wine Enthusiast
pepand floral, the 2022 Cerasuolo di Vittoria wafts up with a spicy blend of crushed wild berries and savory herbs. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness and crisp red and blue fruits. Tantalizing acidity refreshes the palate toward the close. It tapers off classically dry yet fresh and floral, leaving a violet resonance to fade." Vinous

Frappato Sicilia Vittoria DOC 2022 (BIO)
A single-varietal Frappato is a rarity, as this very late-ripening grape variety is usually blended with others. Frappato thrives on the sandy soils of Vittoria in south-east Sicily and produces a complex wine with race and character. A floral bouquet with aromas of cherry and peach, notes of strawberry on the palate, slightly mineral and very energetic, with a finish reminiscent of apple and orange peel. Ideal food companion. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2022 Frappato is remarkably pretty, with an aroma of wild flowers, lavender, wild strawberries and wet stones. It is juicy and pure in style with peppery wild berry and sour citrus nuances. The finish is smooth, yet lively and entertaining, enticing the taster to drink more. The 2022 is an absolutely beautiful Frappato." Vinous
"A wonderfully fresh and lively Frappato with orange peel, dried cherries and a hint of watermelon. Medium body. Light tannins and a crisp finish." James Suckling
"Hibiscus tea, freeze-dried strawberry, wild cherries, warm bricks and candied orange peel on the nose meet a subtle earthiness. On the palate, a squeeze of orange and a sprinkle of salt underscore both the sweetness and the astringency of the fruit, while tannins and acid sit back and relax." Wine Enthusiast

Nocera Rosso Sicilia Nocera DOC 2022 (BIO)
Nocera - this noble vine is only grown on a few hectares in the province of Messina, on a spectacular vineyard surrounded by the sea. Bright garnet red in colour, with an original aroma of white pepper, cherries, geranium and summer fruits. The typical fresh and fruity flavour of this old Sicilian grape is convincing. A fine salty vein in the spicy final. An unforgettable experience from Planeta's Capo Milazzo branch on the coast north of Mount Etna. SUPERIORE.DE
"Dark berries with lemon peel and mineral flavours. Medium-bodied with firm acidity and a solid mouthfeel that gives this wine energy and focus. Straightforward and racy." James Suckling
"The fresh, cool nose features notes of slate, white pepper, crunchy cherries and licorice. On the palate, acid electrifies the cherries and that faint medicinal quality, while firm, austere tannins and a deep, primitive earthiness quietly announce more serious intentions." Wine Enthusiast

“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

Fragrant and juicy, this is everything that good Cerasuolo di Vittoria should be. Aromatic raspberry and strawberry scents lead to a really fresh and tangy palate which invites you in. It has good acid structure, around which wrap sweet and ripe red fruits, with a long and fresh finish showcasing some raspberry coulis." Decanter

Rich ruby. Elegant cuvée with spicy aromas of black cherry, plum and white pepper as well as an earthy undertone. Clear on the palate with hints of blackberry, the fruit always very fine, nice spice, including star anise, very rounded. Ends with a lot of freshness, elegance and a hint of lemon peel. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Mamertino is dark and earthy, grumbling up with suggestions of plum sauce and grilled herbs complicated by flowery undergrowth. It's soft and round yet quite mineral in style, taking on a crunchy sensation as tart wild berry fruits cascade across the palate. Blackberry hints linger through the licorice-tinged finale. The 2018 finishes grippy and long." Vinous

"A bright, fragrant, mineral white wine with delicate notes of broom and pine. With flavours of nectarine, persimmon, blanched almonds and ground ginger, it shows good linear power, yet is harmonious and accessible, unfolding on the palate through the creamy finish." Wine Spectator

“Maroccoli” Syrah Sicilia Menfi DOC 2020
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
"Darkly floral, the 2020 Maroccoli, lifts from the glass with a smoky blend of grilled herbs, dried violets and crushed blackberries. This is wonderfully fresh and lifted in style, with bright wild berry fruits and juicy acidity that maintains fantastic energy. It finishes with a pleasantly bitter sensation, tapering off with medium length and a spicy tinge." Vinous

“Eruzione 1614” Carricante Sicilia DOC 2020
The eruption of 1614 is legendary in the history of Etna, as it lasted ten years, making it the longest recorded eruption of the active volcano to date. A very impressive and fitting name for Planeta's Etna series of equally impressive wines.
Carricante from Planeta's Etna vineyard is an exceptional wine full of freshness, energy and minerality. This noble grape variety thrives in exclusive conditions, on volcanic soils and at altitudes of 870 metres. A wonderfully complex pleasure that is only ever released for sale two years after the harvest. SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2020 Carricante Eruzione 1614 combines richness with vibrancy: ripe peach and melon are complemented by floral honey notes and hazelnut. It is soft and supple, but with a core of zesty acidity that balances tropical citrus tones under a hint of exotic flowers. The 2020 finishes clean and mineral, with hints of lime and fresh mint. The Eruzione 1614 Carricante always stands out in my tastings, which makes sense, as its 10% Riesling Renano content gives it unexpected energy." Vinous
"This white wine, made exclusively from steel, comes from Contrada Sciaranuova on the north side of Mount Etna and is made from 100% Carricante (previous vintages contained around 10% Riesling). Flinty, earthy and smoky, it has aromas of green and yellow fruit and an intense, juicy palate with plenty of succulence and freshness." Decanter
"Wild oregano and seaweed (with lemon and brine) combine on the nose to create a perfect marriage of volcano and gulf that dominate the space in which it is produced. Roasted herbs and seawater-washed slate are found on the palate, as well as stone fruit that is bursting with citrus and acidity and seemingly never-ending." Wine Enthusiast
"Intense nose with notes of oatmeal, seeds, white nuts and minerals to the stewed lemons and apples. Fresh, tangy and attractively savoury on the palate with bright, zesty acidity and a nice phenolic kick at the end. Excellent concentration and salinity." James Suckling

“Eruzione 1614” Nerello Mascalese Sicilia DOC 2019
The eruption of 1614 is legendary in the history of Etna, as it lasted ten years, making it the longest recorded eruption of the active volcano to date. A very impressive and fitting name for Planeta's Etna series of equally impressive wines.
It could hardly be more autochthonous: this excellent wine from the Nerello Mascalese grape comes from the hotspot on the east coast of Sicily, from the slopes of Mount Etna. Bright cherry red in colour, a fine aroma of raspberry and blood orange, gripping, taut acidity, silky tannins and a lively elegance with beautiful minerality. Great, long and unique! SUPERIORE.DE
"This is still very much a wine of Etna, despite being just outside the official boundary of the Etna DOC zone. Airy and textured, light red and black cherries and raspberry mingle with balsam, spice and earth. A poised red which trades complexity for freshness and drinkability." Decanter
"Pure Nerello Mascalese of great finesse, from the Cru Sciaranuova, matured for 12 months in oak barrels, very multi-faceted nose, redcurrant, notes of bay leaf, nutmeg and wild mint. Savoury and spicy on the palate, with a fruity, oily finish." Luca Gardini
"The 2019 Nerello Mascalese Eruzione 1614 is delicate and floral in the glass, with pretty rose tones and spice notes that complement dusty black cherry. It washes over the palate with lightness, soft and juicy in flavour, with tactile mineral tones that linger towards the end. A layer of fine tannins lingers as the 2019 finishes remarkably fresh yet youthfully structured. It will take some time to fully develop." Vinous
"Flavours of sliced strawberries, red cherries and grated nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied with fine, slightly taut tannins. Lively and acidic on the palate, with plenty of white pepper as a stimulus. Accompanied by notes of wet stone and sage. Well-structured and multi-layered. Best after 2024." James Suckling

“Burdese” Rosso Sicilia Menfi DOC 2018
Deep ruby red with garnet-coloured reflections. Dense and intense aroma of red fruits with notes of leather, earth, spices and minerals, with a hint of vanilla and sandalwood. Full-bodied on the palate, well-defined tannins supported by a dense structure, leading to a long-lasting and very smooth final. A Bordeaux blend in a class of its own! SUPERIORE.DE
"The 2018 Burdese is a straightforward expression of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%) and Cabernet Franc (30%) that doesn't impose. 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 such as 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 rock, graphite and red plums form a dark, seductive bouquet when the 2018 Burdese reveals itself in the glass. The palate is lapped by soft textures contrasted by a core of tart wild berries. Mineral tones slowly saturate. A web of fine tannins lends it youthful composure, nicely balanced by a hint of sour citrus, while the 2018 tapers off for a long time and yet displays wonderful balance." Vinous
"The nose is dark and rich, yet also layered and subtle, with both heavy aromas of petrol and tar and juicier notes of blackberries, figs and dark chocolate. The figs and chocolate carry the palate, though wild herbs and bitter orange give buoyancy. Tannins are unyielding, while acid is more discreet but still perceptible." Wine Enthusiast

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
