Tasting note
Fiano comes from Campania; this Sicilian incarnation, all citrus, tropical fruit, pink grapefruit and wisteria, shows it’s a good traveller.
In the press
94+/100 - This is one of the celebrated white wines that put Sicily on the world wine map. The organic Planeta 2023 Sicilia Menfi Cometa (made with 100% Fiano) is a full-bodied and creamy expression of a grape that is otherwise known for crisp and lightly textured wines. Not here. This wine is all about richness, texture and depth. It starts off in stainless steel and matures in tonneaux and 36-hectoliter Allier oak casks. The fruit comes from Dispensa at 75 meters above sea level and Gurra at a lower 35 meters in elevation. Despite the hardships of the vintage, this wine delivers nothing but pleasure.
Viticulture
Vines are planted at an altitude of 75 m above sea level with a vertical trellis system, cordon spur pruned. The density is 4500 vines per hectare.
Vinification
The grapes are crushed and destemmed; the juice is clarified through settling overnight and then inoculated with a selected pure yeast. The wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks, where it is kept on its lees for five months before a light fining and bottling.
