Discover the Legacy of Planeta Wines

The Rich History of Planeta

Although the story of Planeta officially started in 1995, its foundations date back to the year 1500 between Sambuca di Sicilia and Menfi, 17 generations ago. Today, Planeta is not one, but 5 ways of expressing a terroir all united under a single banner. A figure which represents the number of estates which each, in their own individual way, bring out the best in the land which bears the fruit used to produce its wines.

A Journey Through Sicilian Terroirs

With a total of 900 acres dedicated to the production of wine in the regions of Sambuca di Sicilia, Menfi, Vittoria, Noto and Mount Etna, Planeta is the most prolific producer on the island. A real journey through the finest wine-producing areas of Sicily, the properties of the Planeta family are in equal parts an interpretation of the terroir, wine and company’s history. Although versions differ between one area and another, a single shared vision is held by each Planeta estate: hard work and respect for traditions. Hard work through patient and meticulous research—sometimes drawing on past experiences but always looking towards future innovations—and respect for traditions as well as nature; this legacy has been passed down from generation to generation.

The Quality That Defines Planeta

But above all, what truly characterises Planeta as a producer is the quality of its wines—confirmed vintage after vintage—so diverse and varied is their range.
