Planeta, Sicily, Italy:

Planeta is a sicilian family - owned winery established in 1995. Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta spent years matching the extraordinarily diverse Sicilian soils with both indigenous and international grape varieties. The result? A family of critically - acclaimed wines that demonstrate how brilliance can be attained through thoughtful marriages between grape variety and terroir. With such a quality, they succeed into bringing Sicily to the world.
Planeta becomes a "Journey" around Sicily and its greatest wines. The products are innovative, contemporary and thoroughly coherent with a ritual interpretation of wines which have been almost forgotten but are historically a part of Italy.

“Planeta has become a superstar in Italian wine, producing blockbuster Chardonnays, Cabernets, Merlots and Syrahs as well as sublime wines from indigenous Italian grapes such as Nero d'Avola and Fiano”. ----- Wine Spectator
