Chardonnay 2013 75cl

Planeta passionately believes that each terroir merits its own winery – making them one of the few producers in Sicily to own wine estates all over the island. There are, in fact, six wine-producing estates: Feudo di Mezzo in Etna, Buonivini in Noto, Dorilli in Vittoria, Dispensa in Menfi, Ulmo in Sambuca di Sicilia and La Baronia in Capo Milazzo. Recently established in 1995, the Planeta company has quickly created a deeply rooted reputation for quality wines. Cousins Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta currently run the business, but behind them they have a long family history of skilled Sicilian farmers. Therefore, its innovative vinification procedures are matched with ritualistic know-how making detail-oriented, never hurried wines. The six separate estates equal over 360-hectares of vineyards, consisting of native varieties: Grecanico, Carricante, Moscato di Noto, Frappato, Nerello Mascalese and Nero d’Avola, as well as classic French varieties, such as Chardonnay, Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet.
