TCD OPINION
 
The Planeta Santa Cecilia is a wine to drink today and will be at its best from now until 2009. This is not a bottle to add to the cellar but an enjoyable wine for Nero d'Avola enthusiasts.
We were not as taken with the 2003 Santa Cecilia Nero d'Avola as with other vintages however if you enjoy this type of wine then you'll probably enjoy this offering.

TCD Score: 85/100
85 Points for a good bottle of wine. We would expect a better offering from Planeta but 2003 was not the finest vintage. Still an enjoyable wine but nothing particularly special here.

Planeta
 
Planeta is the biggest winary in Sicily and produces some very high quality wines that are very popular within Italy itself. Planeta is a commercial winery whose bottle labeling, advertising, and PR events are very 21st century and attracts a younger kind of drinker. That said, wine experts also praise the vineyards and, for the price, some of the wines are exceptional value and many score highly with the critics gaining 90+ points with Parker and WineSpectator. The wines come from four seperate areas of Sicily. The Buonivini vineyard in Noto produces the Nero d'Avola and Moscato di Noto and has been in operation since 2003. The Ulmo vineyard in Sambuca di Sicilia is the original vineyard of Planeta and from here they produce the Chardonnay and Fiano. The Dispensa vineyard in Menfi is the home of the Planeta family and produces the Merlot, Syrah and Burdese. The Dorilli vineyard in Vittoria is home to the company's Cerasuolo.
