Winery notes (2024 Vintage)
"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.
Ruby red with purple highlights. Typical varietal aromas of ripe plum, cocoa, Arabica coffee blend, wild berries with just the right amount of spice. Full-bodied and tannic on the palate without being excessive."

90/100 Eric Guido, Vinous (2022 Vintage)
"The 2022 La Segreta Nero d'Avola is darkly floral and slowly evolves with nuances of sage, blood orange and blackberry. Soft textured and cool toned, it sweeps across the palate with violet-laced wild berry fruits and mineral tones. The finish is pleasantly chewy and stainingly long, with a resonance of currant under an air of lavender pastille."
91/100 James Button, Decanter UK, September 2024 (2021 Vintage)
"Aromas of cherry, dried orange, coffee and fresh herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with fine tannins. Nicely concentrated, but not overdone. Savoury notes of nutmeg and plenty of blue fruit as well."
