Santa Cecilia is our benchmark wine produced from the most important Sicilian grape variety, Nero d’Avola. It came about after much research into the best place to produce a great wine from this variety. For this reason we went to Noto, birthplace of this variety, where the DOC Noto continues to succeed, in the southernmost corner of Sicily. Learn More

La Segreta takes its name from the wood that surrounds our vineyard at Ulmo.

All the grapes are carefully cultivated in Planeta owned vineyards. Learn More

The story of Etna is starry with the historic eruptions which have formed it. The eruption of 1614 is legendary for having lasted ten years, the longest ever known, which stopped just on the borders of the vineyards of Sciara Nuova. The name is strongly evocative for Etna Volcano Cru based on Nerello Mascalese. High black land confers an elegant, distinguished and balanced style. Learn More

The Dorilli Classico Cerasuolo di Vittoria represents for us the quintessence of this ancient and noble wine. It originates from a careful selection of vines which surround the unique and beautiful Dorilli estate, named after the nearby river Dorilli, landing place of the brave Aeneas. Learn More

A mineral freshness due to the volcanic soil and the altitude; this is 870 meters above sea level, and a viticulture which is extreme but fascinating. Learn More
