A trip to Sicily

From 1985 until a few years ago, the company expanded by replicating the Menfi model in four other very different areas of Sicily, where the particularities of each site could be brought out through wine production and hospitality. From Menfi to Vittoria, up to Noto, then on Mount Etna and finally to Capo Milazzo, through research into native grape varieties and international ones, the Planeta family has succeeded in enhancing local wine traditions by giving them an international breadth. It all started with Menfi’s Chardonnay, which opened the company’s doors to the world, up to other wines that were almost unknown until a few years ago and now represent Sicily well beyond its borders.

Thanks to the journey undertaken by Planeta, you can get to know the main and most suitable wine-growing areas of the whole of Sicily, from west to east. By enhancing the characteristics of the places – Menfi, Vittoria, Noto, Etna and Capo Milazzo – so different in landscape, culture, history and temperament of the people, you can perfectly capture the essence of Sicily: an actual continent, a varied mosaic of climates, landscapes, history and culture, as well as, of course, wines.
