Recognised under the Menfi Denominazione di Origine Controllata, this wine represents a benchmark for Sicilian oenology, offering a profile also suitable for those following a vegan diet. The style is distinguished by its remarkable structural breadth, balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003elively mineral tension\u003c\/strong\u003e and a pronounced savouriness. The gustatory balance arises from a vinification process that masterfully combines the use of steel with a period in barrels, offering the palate an \u003cstrong\u003eelegant and persistent sip\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the territories of Menfi, in south-western Sicily, between the Dispensa and Gurra districts. The vineyards grow caressed by an \u003cstrong\u003eideal Mediterranean climate\u003c\/strong\u003e that encourages the perfect ripening of the clusters. The roots delve into \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e located between 35 and 75 metres above sea level, with slight variations between the two areas that enrich the final complexity. This combination acts as a natural amplifier, enhancing the \u003cstrong\u003earomatic markers of the territory\u003c\/strong\u003e and giving the wine that energy and savouriness that make it unmistakable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the harvest, the grapes are gently pressed to extract the must.

The final blend is then prepared for bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and interesting facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Planeta winery has transformed an ambitious experiment with \u003cstrong\u003e100% Fiano\u003c\/strong\u003e into an authentic organic masterpiece.
