Lot 356 PLANETA
For five centuries and through seventeen generations, the Planeta family has been involved with the course of agricultural evolution in Sicily. Our history is the story of a journey through time and space, through the five areas - Menfi, Vittoria, Noto, Etna, Capo Milazzo - where today we produce our wines, our olive oils and the places of our family hospitality. A long journey which we chose in order to protect the uniqueness of the environment, the countryside and the culture with the same respect with which we explore the characteristics of the terroirs and the vineyards, enhancing the specific details of each area.
The ethics of production and the protection of the environment, the countryside and the culture of each place, through sustainable long-term viticulture, wineries perfectly integrated in the landscape and wines which perfectly represent each territory, are common to our presence everywhere. We have always combined our passion for Sicily with a desire to warmly welcome those who wish to discover it. Because of this our wineries have never merely been places to produce wine but have also been devoted to hospitality, linked to cooking, nature and the local culture.
For the same reason we opened a wine resort in Menfi deep in the vineyards and seven apartments in the heart of Palermo’s historic centre, two expressions of the authentic Planeta’s family hospitality.
“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
