Tasting notes

A great white wine comparable with great white wines of the world; this was the initial project. Thus began our experiments with Fiano during the 1990’s, a noble and ancient vine with origins in Campania. And thus Cometa began, the best expression in a unique and original way of the characteristics of this extraordinary vine. Intense and fruity aromas, its great structure and minerality today make it one of the most important white wines of southern Italy, cultivated according to the criteria of sustainability and organicity.

About this wine

Planeta's Cometa Fiano represents the essence of Sicilian white winemaking. Crafted from the ancient Fiano grape, this Menfi DOC wine showcases the mineral-rich terroir of southwestern Sicily, where limestone soils and Mediterranean climate create distinctive, structured whites. The Fiano variety, traditionally grown in southern Italy, thrives in Menfi's unique conditions, producing a medium-bodied wine with refined acidity and elegant minerality.

Planeta, one of Sicily's most respected producers, combines traditional viticulture with modern winemaking precision. The Cometa selection reflects their commitment to quality and regional authenticity, delivering a dry white that balances freshness with complexity at a moderate 13% alcohol. This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, crab, and lobster, making it an ideal aperitif for coastal entertaining. It also complements citrus-based dishes, grilled vegetables, and light pasta preparations, offering versatility for fine dining and villa entertaining.
