Planeta La Segreta Grillo

Sicily in a glass: The La Segreta Grillo from Planeta is an uncomplicated white wine that brings the lightness of the Mediterranean directly to the table.

The Planeta family has been cultivating vineyards at five different locations in Sicily since the 1990s—from Menfi to Mount Etna. With their La Segreta line, they showcase the island's accessible, everyday wines. Grillo is one of Sicily's oldest indigenous grape varieties and was historically known primarily for Marsala production. Vinified as a still wine, it reveals its fresh, aromatic character.

In the glass, it displays a clear, bright yellow color. The nose is characterized by a salty, almost iodine-like freshness—followed by citrus peel, ripe pear, and a hint of dried herbs (oregano, thyme). On the palate, it is light-bodied with lively acidity and a short to medium finish.

Serving temperature: 10–12 °C. Best enjoyed young. Pairs well with grilled calamari, burrata with tomatoes, light pasta dishes with seafood, or simply as an aperitif on a warm evening.
