91 Points John Caro
In stock
A refreshing and modern white made from the traditional Sicilian grape, Grillo. This distinctive variety (pronounced "Gree-lo") is often presented in blends, but here Planeta have captured it in its own lush and aromatically nuanced form. Eminently Sicilian, this wine enjoys an effortless harmony with seafood and vegetable dishes while offering a polished and simply delicious white for almost any occasion. Great value at this price.

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

90/100 Decanter, James Button

"This soft, textured Grillo from vineyards in Menfi is a delicious example of the variety's attraction: herbal, lemon and orange peel integrate with tropical fruits and citrus pith, with a fresh, saline character." Drink 2023 - 2037

92/100 James Suckling (2021 vintage)

"A delicious, creamy white with sliced pear and apple and some dried lemon on both the nose and palate. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish. Drink now."
