CURIOSITIES

Passito Di Noto is a wine produced by Bodega Planeta, a Sicilian group that stretches from Menfi to Capo Milazzo.

It all started in Sambuca di Sicilia, on an estate that belongs to the Planeta family since the seventeenth century. This was where, in the mid-80s, three young enthusiasts (Alessio, Francesca and Santi Planeta) embarked on their winemaking adventure.

Respect for the environment and care for biodiversity are the watchwords of this company, which combines ancestral practices with the most innovative oenological processes and in which native grapes coexist in total harmony with international varieties.
