Planeta is not just one winery, but many, located near five carefully chosen vineyard sites that represent an exhilarating journey through Sicily. That journey begins at Sambuca di Sicilia, the estate which the Planeta family has owned since the 1600s, where three enthusiastic young Sicilians – Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta – began their winemaking venture in the mid-1980s. The trio has spent subsequent years matching the extraordinarily diverse Sicilian soils with both indigenous and international grape varieties. Named for the historic eruption of Mt. Etna that began in 1614 and continued for ten years, stopping just short of the vineyards where grapes for this wine are grown. The wine is 90% Carricante, a white grape indigenous to Sicily, with the rest a refreshing splash if Riesling; it offers delicate lime blossom scents and flavors of crushed apple and tart lemon, with Carricante’s typical stiff mineral spine.
