Description

The "La Segreta" Sicilia DOC Bianco from Planeta is a white wine of great elegance and versatility, capturing the essence of the Sicilian terroir through a skillful blend of native and international grapes. The varieties used primarily include Grecanico, along with touches of Chardonnay, Viognier, and Fiano, which together create a mosaic of aromas and flavors reflecting the island’s biodiversity.

Visually, the wine presents a bright straw-yellow color with greenish reflections that suggest its freshness. On the nose, "La Segreta" exhibits a rich and complex aromatic bouquet, where intertwining notes of white flowers, tropical fruits like pineapple, and citrus nuances, particularly grapefruit, can be found. This variety of scents is enriched by subtle hints of aromatic herbs and minerals.

On the palate, the wine is lively and well-balanced, with refreshing acidity that gives it extraordinary drinkability and makes it a perfect match with a variety of dishes. The flavors are consistent with the aromas perceived on the nose, with a pleasantly long finish that leaves an aftertaste of fresh fruit and a slight mineral note.

The vinification of "La Segreta" is carried out with utmost care to preserve the aromatic profiles of the grapes. Fermentations occur separately for each variety in stainless steel containers at controlled temperatures, followed by a short period of maturation on fine lees to add complexity and structure to the wine.

Recommended as an aperitif or paired with light starters, fish-based dishes, or seafood, "Il Bianco Sicilia DOC La Segreta" by Planeta is an ideal choice for those seeking a wine that expresses the liveliness and freshness of Sicilian white wines. A must for lovers of intriguing and harmonious whites.

Winery history

The Planeta family's history has been rooted in Sicily for centuries; the modern winemaking project took shape in the 1990s with the opening of the first winery in Ulmo and territorial growth that led to the establishment of wineries and vineyards in various areas of the island. Over time the company has developed a model in which each territory has a dedicated winery, supplementing wine production with olive oil and hospitality activities and completing the conversion to organic farming on much of its cultivated land.

Production philosophy

Planeta's approach is based on territorial identity: research and respect for local varieties, agronomic experimentation tailored to the different Sicilian terroirs, and practices aimed at environmental and social sustainability, with investments in projects to protect biodiversity and promote organic farming.

Terroir and vineyards

The estates extend across Sicily from west to east, with established presences in Menfi/Ulmo, Vittoria, Noto, on Etna, and at Capo Milazzo, as well as other wineries and local projects such as Dispensa, Monte Cirami and Serra Ferdinandea.

Awards and recognitions
