Planeta Santa Cecilia

Planeta Santa Cecilia is the flagship wine made from the Sicilian Nero d'Avola grape variety. The vines grow in Noto – the Noto DOC is located at the southern tip of Sicily, where the best Nero d'Avola grapes are cultivated. These grapes possess a distinctive aroma, power, and elegance. Its bouquet is dominated by dark fruits such as currants, plums, and blueberries. On the palate, these fruit flavors reappear, accompanied by spices, figs, and a touch of spice. Above all, the wine displays a dense structure and a beautiful finish. The wine matures for at least 14 months in barriques. 93 points James Suckling for the 2018 vintage, 94 points Falstaff for the 2017 vintage, 91 points Wine Spectator for the 2017 vintage.

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.
