Tasting notes
Pale straw gold in the glass, this wine opens with fresh aromas of citrus, white peach, green apple, and delicate floral notes, lifted by a subtle mineral character. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with bright acidity, a clean texture, and flavors of lemon zest, pear, and ripe stone fruit. The finish is elegant and refreshing, with a light saline touch and a lingering sense of purity and finesse.

Viticulture
Azienda Agricola Planeta, Etna Bianco is a vineyard located in Sicily, on the slopes of Mount Etna. It benefits from volcanic soils, high altitude, and a cool climate that give the wine freshness, minerality, and elegance. The vineyard is known for producing white wines with delicate aromas, bright acidity, and a refined, balanced character.
Oenology
Produced in Sicily on the volcanic slopes of Mount Etna, Planeta Etna Bianco is made primarily from Carricante, the traditional white grape of the area. The grapes are harvested by hand at full aromatic maturity, then gently pressed to preserve freshness and precision. Fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures to highlight the variety’s natural minerality, citrus character, and floral notes. A short period of lees aging adds texture and complexity while maintaining the wine’s clean, vibrant style. The result is a refined white wine shaped by the altitude, volcanic soils, and cool mountain climate of Etna.

As accompanying dishes, choose citrus sauces, olive oil and herb dressings, roasted potatoes, steamed vegetables, mild cheeses like ricotta or primo sale, and bread with extra virgin olive oil.
