Four wineries, three provinces, one parallel, one thread that links the south of Sicily, east to west. Noto, Vittoria, Sambuca, Memphis. The birthplace of Planeta wines is in these four areas. The hottest, the driest of all the island, all more or less close to the sea. But the similarities end here. Because then we can count many differences: the land, the vines, the altititudine, the wind, just to name a few. There is also to believe that when I notice there is dawn in Memphis is still a bit 'night. And when the sun disappears in Victoria, Sambuca is still the sunset. Also count the rest, all that is entrusted to man. The strength of betting, the optimism of the will, the conviction that here - in Sicily - we can overcome sin to do.
