Our friends from Planeta in Sicily
We love Planeta. The more wines we try, the more we love them. I could go into extensive details about our trip to Sicily and how amazing the wines, vineyards, people and sunshine was but it seems cruel!
Go to the Planeta website and have a glance at their new hotel, I'm waiting for my next invite!

| Santa Cecilia Nero d’Avola 2006, Planeta, Sicily Tony’s favourite. This wine is bursting with sunshine and red berries. All the grapes are grown on a steep slope leading to the ocean looking towards Morocco. But I’m delighted they brave the slopes and hand pick their grapes, this is a must drink wine. | bottle £42.00 |
