While I was in\\xa0Verona at Wine2Wine, I had the chance to speak with Alessio Planeta, President at Assovini Sicilia and Owner at Planeta Winery.
For five centuries and through seventeen generations, Planeta has been active in changing and improving agriculture in Sicily.\\xa0Alessio Planeta has spent his life dedicated to the study of Sicily and figuring out how to make it a significant force in world wine. With his family, Alessio now has six wineries around Sicily, and they have almost single-handedly put Sicily on the map as a quality player.

Planeta continues its mission to show what Sicily can do and what it\\u2019s forgotten varietals can bring to the world of wine. They are one of the big reasons we have access to excellent Sicilian wine today.

Here are the notes:
