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.

Planeta Brut Metodo Classico represents Sicily’s ability to produce elegant traditional-method sparkling wines with Mediterranean character. Crafted from Carricante and refined through bottle ageing, it combines freshness, complexity, and fine texture. The volcanic influence and warm Sicilian climate create a sparkling wine with bright citrus fruit, delicate aromas, and a refined finish.
