A unique wine, the first Riesling on Etna and in Sicily. Light colour with green reflections, still young on the nose with all the typical precursors of the ‘king’s variety’; white apple, plum, lemon and yellow flowers. On the palate it is perfectly dry, without excessive acidity. The palate is perhaps its strong point in this youthful phase with that ‘mineral’ taste which experts debate and describe with difficulty.
Planet planted 4,500 vines of Rhine Riesling. An extraordinary variety, cultivated according to the criteria of sustainability and organicity, which loves lava soils and draws benefit from an altitude over 800 metres above sea level on terraces at the edge of the “sciara” created by the eruption of 1614, with its duration of ten years the longest in recorded history.
Planeta is the story of a journey through time and space, through Sicily from west to east, and through the five areas where today we produce their wines, olive oils and the places of our family hospitality. A long journey which was chosen in order to protect the uniqueness of the environment, the countryside and the culture with the same respect with which to explore the characteristics of the terroirs and the vineyards, enhancing the specific details of each area.
