Do you know the secret of a great white wine capable of turning the heads of sommeliers around the world? Sometimes it's an unexpected journey. A grape variety that finds its true home far from its origins. And that's exactly what happened to Fiano in Sicily. Cometa di Planeta is living proof of this. But let's proceed in order. Menfi, in the heart of south-western Sicily. Here, the sun gently caresses the vineyards of Dispensa and Gurra, about 75 metres above sea level. The sea breeze carries intoxicating aromas, while the calcareous-clayey soils give the grapes a unique and unmistakable character. It is here that Planeta, a family with a history of farming dating back to the 1500s, had the happy intuition to bring the noble Fiano grape variety, originally from Campania, and cultivate it with the same dedication that has made them a benchmark in sustainability and organic farming, following the SOStain protocol. Cometa is therefore made from 100% Fiano grapes, a variety known for its marked acidity and sapidity, which give the wine extraordinary ageing potential and surprising aromatic complexity. Each sip reveals the meticulous work in the vineyard, where the harvest takes place at the end of August to capture the optimal freshness of the grapes. After vinification, a small portion of the wine is aged in barriques, then refined for several months in both steel and large barrels and tonneaux. This ageing on fine lees helps to develop a complexity and softness that make Cometa a wine of rare harmony. Deep straw yellow in colour, embellished with greenish reflections that anticipate its freshness, the nose reveals an explosion of aromas: from Mediterranean scrub to citrus hints of mandarin and pomelo, to more delicate notes of chamomile, hay, white peach and a surprising hint of peppermint. On the palate, it is vibrant and mineral, with an enveloping sapidity that cleanses the palate. Intense yet balanced, with a long, persistent finish reminiscent of ripe apricots and a pleasant note of basil.
