One Domain, Six Terroirs, One Vision of Excellence

Since the 1990s, the Planeta family has reinvented the image of Sicilian wine. Visionary and rooted, Francesca, Alessio, and Santi Planeta have elevated their estate to the rank of a global ambassador of Sicilian viticulture. Through six emblematic terroirs — Menfi, Vittoria, Noto, Etna, Capo Milazzo, and Sambuca — Planeta embodies a plural, complex, and vibrant Sicily, where each wine is a piece of the great island puzzle.

Terroirs Between Sea, Fire, and Light

The diversity of Planeta's terroirs is exceptional: volcanic soils of Etna, luminous limestones of Noto, red sands of Vittoria, deep clays of Menfi... Each estate has been established with a fine understanding of the best-suited indigenous or international grape varieties. The Mediterranean climate, modulated by altitude or marine influences, allows for optimal ripeness and preserved freshness.

Philosophy: Between Heritage and Modernity

Planeta elegantly blends respect for traditions and enlightened innovation. Deeply attached to Sicilian identity, the family values historical grape varieties such as Nero d’Avola, Frappato, Carricante, Grecanico, or Moscato di Noto, while mastering international grape varieties (Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah...) to perfection. The estate is certified sustainable and aims for carbon neutrality.

Wine Style: Precision, Purity, Character

Planeta wines are distinguished by their remarkable balance between solar generosity and finesse. The whites shine with their mineral tension, the reds captivate with their fruity brilliance and polished structure. Each bottle reflects a place, a climate, a hand — always with elegance.
