2021
Sicilia D.O.C. Italy

50% Nero d’Avola 50% Syrah

Just delicious, crushed-stone, strawberry with vibrant yellow flowers.
Festive and flavorful!

Planeta’s journey began at Sambuca di Sicilia, on the estate owned by the family since the 1600s. Here, three enthusiastic young Sicilians, Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta, under the guidance of Diego Planeta, began their winemaking venture!

91 Points! Vinous

A perfumed bouquet of freshly-cut roses, wild strawberries and wet stone.
It’s silky and pliant in feel with a savory, salty mix of mineral-tinged apples and pears that give way to pretty inner florals. The 2021 lasts incredibly long through the finish, recalling all of the fruit and flowery notes from its nose and palate…stunning glass of Rosè…

About Planeta in their words…..
“It is a new way of thinking about the journey through Sicily; after Menfi, Vittoria, then Noto, then Etna, then Milazzo. Not a random route, but one strongly linked to the variety of countryside, to the winds, to the character of the people and thus of their wine…” –Diego Planeta
 
Planeta encompasses six distinct wine estates across Sicily, each one inspired andconstructed in harmony with its surroundings and dedicated to its terroir.
 
For five centuries and seventeen generations, the Planeta family has been involved in the Sicilian agricultural sector. Their work on the island has contributed to the revitalization of Sicilian winemaking, now one of the most dynamic and sought-after viticultural regions in the world. Planeta’s journey begins at Sambuca di Sicilia, on the estate owned by the family since the 1600s. Here on Italy's most enchanting island, three enthusiastic young Sicilians, Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta, under the guidance of Diego Planeta, began their winemaking venture in the mid-1980s. Subsequent years were spent matching the extraordinarily diverse Sicilian soils with both indigenous and international varieties. Years of careful research paid off when the Planeta wines were met with immediate critical acclaim upon introduction in the U.S. in the late 1990s.
