Territory

From the sea to the hill, up to an altitude of 400 meters, the territory of Menfi is home to the largest extension of the Planeta winery's vineyards : they cultivate over 250 hectares, making precise choices to adapt the vines - native and international - to the specificities of the individual terroirs.

Soil

The valley was once crossed by a river, while today it has become Lake Arancio.

This helped deepen the soils, with an abundant skeleton made up of pebbles. The higher soils are instead more calcareous and clayey. The slope guarantees perfect drainage.
