Planeta Identity

When the first rows were planted next to the fortress of Ulmo in 1985, Diego, Alessio, Santi and Francesca Planeta had a clear vision for the company's growth in their hearts and minds. With youthfulness intertwined with ancient roots, they adopted a farsighted approach, becoming almost guardians of the land and its traditions. The initial 50 hectares, situated in a place rich with history and significance, served as a canvas of shapes and colours.

Guided by Carlo Corino, Alessio Planeta meticulously defined the identity of their products, paving the way for the release of the inaugural labels in 1995, starting with Chardonnay. This wine proved to be a gateway, opening doors to the global stage, and allowing them to introduce wines that were previously unknown, gradually becoming an essential part of the plan.

Embarking on a journey through Sicily to research indigenous varieties, as documented in ancient books recounting tales of phantom wines once abundant on the island, they ventured from Menfi to Vittoria, Noto, Etna, and finally to Capo Milazzo. Their commitment to producing each wine in its native territory led them to listen to the stories of places and people, adapting and relating to each context in a unique manner.

Throughout their ventures, the ethics of production, environmental protection, and the preservation of each region's countryside and culture remained paramount. Employing sustainable long-term viticulture, they designed wineries seamlessly integrated into the landscape, producing wines that authentically represented each distinct territory. This commitment extended universally across all their locations.

Motivated by a spontaneous desire to pursue beauty, Planeta Winery continuously sought novel ways to bear witness to it. This pursuit transcended beyond wines and olive oils, manifesting in projects dedicated to hospitality, art, and social responsibility, representing ongoing investments in these pursuits.
