Producer: Planeta
Founded: 1994
Founder: Diego Planeta (with Alessio Planeta)
Home region: Menfi, Sicily, Italy
Flagship: Chardonnay
Ownership: Planeta family

Diego Planeta launched the family's wine project in the 1990s with the younger generation led by Alessio, opening the first winery at Ulmo in 1994 and then building estates across Sicily in Vittoria, Noto, Etna and Capo Milazzo.

La Segreta bears the name of the woods surrounding the Ulmo vineyards. This wine has always been produced exclusively from the vineyards owned by the Planeta family for centuries, cultivated with passion and according to sustainable and organic agriculture criteria. Its first label was graphically related to an ancient 18th-century map of the area; the new label draws from the work of Sicilian pharmacist Giuseppe Riggio, who created an 'erbario picto' of Sicilian flora.

The nose has a citrus, savory feel, with aromas of lemon, lime, orange, wild herbs, and crushed rocks. Green apple slices and lime-candy notes headline the palate, which is incredibly lively with acid and tart, snappy fruit. Planeta’s La Segreta line makes a strong case for the best deal out there right now.

Intensely floral and spicy, the 2024 La Segreta Bianco opens with a burst of crushed rock, sage and citrus zest. The palate is racy in style, with crisp minerality, depth of sour lemon and liquid stone. Juicy acidity keeps the mouth watering even as this finishes tense, leaving a citrusy concentration that lingers.
