Planeta...
 For many generations the Planeta family have
been dedicated to farming in the area of Sambuca di Sicilia and
Menfi, in the province of Agrigento , and has always been in the
forefront of developments in Sicilian agriculture.
The production of wine began in 1985 on the
shore of the Lake Arancio , near Sambuca di Sicilia, with the
main aim being to demonstrate the value of Sicilian wines.
Since the first vineyards were plated the
Planeta family has concentrated on three important goals: to
gain recognition of the indigenous grape varieties, to adapt the
best International vines to the particular conditions of Sicily
and to restore the fascinating and historic Sicilian D.O.C..
