A journey through time and space, across Sicily from west to east, through five regions where the wines of the traditional PLANETA winery have been produced by the same family for more than five hundred years. A journey that is linked to the diversity of the landscapes, the winds, the character of the people, and thus also their wines.

WINEMAKER'S MENU & WINE TASTING
Monday, March 2, 2025 — Start time: 7:00 p.m.
Together with the winemaker from the PLANETA winery, we will take you on a journey through Sicily's various terroirs, all of which are certified organic. Despite its focus on innovation and modernity, the Ritratto family has never strayed from its historical and ritualistic interpretation of wine. On the one hand, there is a deep connection to the ancient Sicilian winemaking tradition with its rich heritage of indigenous grape varieties; on the other hand, there is an interest in international grape varieties that are best suited to these areas, without neglecting the most advanced and visionary grape variety experiments.
Experience a unique and exclusive evening with a special menu in a private atmosphere — together with the winemaker, we carefully select the appropriate wines and present you with a harmonious combination of red, white, and sparkling wines. You will learn exciting details about the origin, grape varieties, and aromas, while discovering the subtle nuances of these exceptional wines for yourself.

ABOUT THE WINERY
A tradition deeply rooted in time — For five centuries and over 17 generations, our family has been committed to pursuing agricultural development in the complex land of Sicily, always adopting an approach focused on openness and innovation. In a world where agriculture was often constrained by outdated social customs and production practices, we have inherited from generation to generation the instinct to change and bring about positive change around us, in culture and among people.
Innovation and sustainability in the heart of Sicily – On our journey through Sicily, this vast wine continent, we have established our wineries in five different areas from west to east, seeking our own interpretation through the exploration of native grape varieties, including long-forgotten ones, and the adaptability of different terroirs to international varieties. Finally, we have created a comprehensive range of experiences around each area, encompassing hospitality, cuisine, nature, and culture.
