2021 Planeta Etna Bianco
Grape
Carricante
Its Origins
"Diego Planeta, along with Giacomo Rallo of Donnfugata and Lucio Tasca d’Almerita, is one of the three founding fathers of the “Sicilian wine renaissance” sparked 10 to 15 years ago. Cousins Francesca, Santi and Alessio Planeta hold the reigns to the estate today and have developed one of the most innovative and modern wine entities in Italy (they are among the most “liked” wineries on Facebook). The Planeta family boasts a gifted hand in marketing and their hard work has only helped to develop the “Sicily” brand within the many foreign markets they penetrate." Parker's Wine Advocate, Monica Larner
What The Critics Say
95/100 WinesCritic.com, Raffaele Vecchione
"Ripe and composed, it shows notes of grapefruit, white flowers, boxwood, vetiver, sandalwood and cumin. Full body, incredibly persuasive and engaging in the sip, it shows concreteness, tension, amiability and flavor. Exceptional, it captivates immediately with the grace of a champion. Graceful and very elegant. Drink now or grow old."
92/100 Kerin O'Keefe
"Savory and bright, this polished white made with organically grown Carricante offers delicate scents of Spanish broom, citrus and white stone fruit. Tangy and delicious, the linear palate features white peach, lemon drop and green melon alongside crisp acidity while a saline note lingers on the close. Aged 20% in large casks and barrels, it has lovely depth and vibrancy. Drink through 2026. Abv: 13% Kerin O’Keefe October 2023 ©kerinokeefe.com."
92/100 James Suckling
"A zingy and saline Etna Bianco exuding minerals, lemon zest and sliced apples. Salty and tangy with a taut, medium-bodied palate. From organically grown grapes. Drink now."
