点评:Driving up to this vineyard from Taoramina was part of the experience for me. It is just amazing scenery around every hairpin turn, from breathtaking vistas to quaint little towns, just endless beauty.
The 400+ year old grounds are unique in their geography and construction and have been carefully maintained by the Planeta family with a thoughtful and modern environment that is suitable for the contemporary traveller.
We were guided around the grounds by our host Miriam, who was knowledgeable about the vineyard's history and of their current production methods. Miriam took us through the built stone pathways and discussed, in a fair amount of detail their current grapes. She was kind enough to point out particularly beautiful spots for photos, even taking pictures of couples.
The tasting of five wines with five complimentary bites was done in the main building in a room to the side that comfortably fit the ten people present for the 11 am time slot. We tasted wines from all their different Sicilian vineyards. There was a good variety of flavor between the wines, ranging from bright and floral to rich and deep. The food choices allowed the wines to showcase their ability to transform and enhance both their flavors and the food's flavors.
They also made it very simple to buy the wine and have it shipped to our home in the US.
Overall, this was a wonderful way to spend our early afternoon with some wonderful people and food and most importantly, wine.

这座拥有 400 多年历史的庄园在地理和建筑上都独一无二,由 Planeta 家族精心维护,环境周到而现代,适合当代旅行者。
我们的主人 Miriam 带我们参观了庄园,她对葡萄园的历史和当前的生产方法了如指掌。Miriam 带我们穿过修建的石头小路,并详细讨论了他们现在的葡萄。她很友善地指出了特别美丽的拍照地点,甚至为情侣拍照。
品尝五种葡萄酒和五份免费小吃是在主楼的一间房间里进行的,这间房间可轻松容纳上午 11 点在场的十个人。我们品尝了来自所有不同西西里葡萄园的葡萄酒。葡萄酒的口味多种多样,从明亮花香到浓郁深沉。食物的选择让葡萄酒展现出它们改变和增强其风味和食物风味的能力。
他们还让购买葡萄酒和将其运送到我们在美国家中变得非常简单。
总的来说,这是一种度过午后时光的绝妙方式,我们与一些很棒的人、美食以及最重要的葡萄酒共度美好时光。
