Planeta Etna Bianco 2024

Founded in 1985, Planeta is one of Sicily’s most influential wine producers, known for combining deep respect for the island’s indigenous varieties with modern winemaking expertise. Across six estates spanning Sicily’s diverse landscapes, from Menfi and Capo Milazzo to Mount Etna, Planeta highlights the connection between grape, climate, and terroir. The estate champions native varieties such as Nero d’Avola, Carricante, and Fiano while producing elegant interpretations of international grapes including Chardonnay and Pinot Nero.

Produced on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, Planeta Etna Bianco is made primarily from Carricante, Sicily's flagship white grape. The high-altitude vineyards and mineral-rich volcanic soils create a wine of remarkable precision, combining vibrant citrus fruit with striking freshness and a distinctive saline character.
