Winery notes (2025 Vintage)
"Light yellow with slightly greenish highlights; varietal and primary aromas of citrus fruits (cedar, kumquat), white peach and tropical fruit, sage leaves, freshly cut grass. Fresh and smooth on the palate with a youthful liveliness. As a fresh aperitif; ideal with fried vegetables and fish, Sicilian street food and seafood, pasta with sea urchins, mozzarella and all fresh cheeses.
La Segreta bears the name of the woods surrounding our 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 a detail of an ancient 18th -century map of the area, to underline the family’s deep roots and presence on site since ancient times. Today it appears in a totally new and refined look. This time we took inspiration from the theme of Sicilian nature – both inside the bottle and out – drawing from the work of an eminent Sicilian pharmacist, Giuseppe Riggio, who, between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th centuries, created a “erbario picto” with the help of a painter, depicting Sicilian flora with great precision and poetry. The new label offers a collection of herbs, flowers and roots, expression of the hidden and powerful beauty that is revealed only to those who know how to appreciate it. A richness of aromas and taste fully developed in these wines."

91/100 James Suckling (2023 Vintage)
"A well-rounded, juicy and attractive grillo with green apples, pears and warm herbs on the nose. It’s medium-bodied, mellow and crunchy on the palate, with more apple and fresh pear character. From organically grown grapes."
