Sicily: Planeta – The Wine

In this video James met with owners of Planeta, Francesca and Alessio Planeta, to taste a number of their wines in their Noto estate in the province of Syracuse, south eastern Sicily. Alessio and Francesca discuss the revival of autochthonous varieties such as Nero D'Avola or Carricante in Sicily. Sicily, as Francesca states, "is not an island it's a continent".

Here are the tasting notes for the wines:
