The Planeta family planted their first vines in Sicily at Menfi and their most representative wines, including the Planeta Chardonnay, are produced here.
This wine has become an image of the change in Sicilian wine. It was born from a desire to elevate Sicily as a major force in winemaking. Following a long process beginning in 1985, today the Planeta Chardonnay is an icon for the whole of Sicily. The vines of Ulmo and Maroccoli, from which it is produced, are unique for their aspect and terroir. The fermentation and aging in French wood, carefully and precisely calibrated, delivers a wine unique for its grace and power.
