Winery:
Planeta
Planeta is a sicilian family – owned winery established in 1995. Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta spent years matching the extraordinarily diverse Sicilian soils with both indigenous and international grape varieties. The result? A family of critically- acclaimed wines that demonstrate how brilliance can be attained through thoughtful marriages between grape variety and terroir. With such a quality, they succeed into bringing Sicily to the world. Planeta becomes a “Journey” around Sicily and its greatest wines. The products are innovative, contemporary and thoroughly coherent with a ritual interpretation of wines which have been almost forgotten but are historically a part of Italy.
Wine Making:
The grapes are picked into crates and refrigerated at once at 8°C before being selected by hand. After light crushing and destemming they are soft pressed. The decanted must is racked and inoculated with yeasts, then fermented at 15°C for 20 days. The wine then remains on the lees until February with continuous mixing. It is then bottled.
