Planeta’s journey began at Sambuca di Sicilia, on the estate owned by the family since the 1600s. Here, three enthusiastic young Sicilians, Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta, under the guidance of Diego Planeta, began their winemaking venture in the mid-1980s. Subsequent years were spent matching the extraordinarily diverse Sicilian soils with both indigenous and international varieties. Planeta today encompasses six distinct wine estates in five regions across Sicily. Each vineyard site is carefully cultivated with grapes that best compliment the local terroir.

Didacus is Planeta’s vision of wine: elegance and tradition, the family and the future. The Rosso is 100% Cabernet Franc exuding a wonderful bramble profile with delicate spic, velvety and polished.

Tasting Notes

On the nose hints of red fruit, accompanied by spicy notes. On the palate the wine is full, energetic and gritty. This is a beautifully restrained red with a sprinkling of white pepper spice.
