With its white soils and ancient vines, Noto is the epicentre of the Nero d’Avola cultivation.The wine expresses elegance, power, balance and emphasis on the unique aromas of Sicily, and now is finally a point of reference for red wines from indigenous Sicilian grapes.Its name is derived from that of our family – Planeta di Santa Cecilia.

Vinification Destemming followed by 12 days of maceration in
grapeskins in stainless steel tanks; after decanting, maturation for
14 months in Allier oak casks used twice or three times.
