Planeta Etna Rosso

Nerello Mascalese from the volcano — that means: dark fruit with a light texture, tannins with real bite, and a mineral character that hardly any other soil in the world provides in this way.

Planeta has been one of the driving forces of modern Sicilian viticulture since the 1990s. With their Etna wines, they work sites on the northern slope of the volcano — volcanic soils made of basalt and ash that give the Nerello Mascalese its unmistakable structure.

In the glass, the Etna Rosso shows aromas of sour cherry and wild berries, plus notes of myrtle, undergrowth, and oriental spices. On the palate, it feels surprisingly light despite its density — typical for Nerello Mascalese, which is often compared to Pinot Noir. Rhubarb and black pepper run through the finish, which remains spicy and long.

Drinking recommendation: 16–18 °C. Pairs well with grilled lamb, pasta with wild boar sauce, or strong Pecorino.

The Winery

Planeta

In the meantime, the descendants of the Planeta family have grown up, around the fortress of Ulmo in the southwest of Sicily, where the land has been cultivated for five centuries, the spark jumped over into new ideas and projects for viticulture.

The first vineyard with vines was planted here in 1985. Since then, different generations of brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren have worked side by side.

The perfect understanding is based not only on the harmony of characters and the complementarity of skills, but above all on the unity of vision: the love for this land, the desire to protect it, and the ability to imagine a new way every day to add value to it.
