Serra Ferdinandea is a dream born in Sicily. Nestled in a typical Mediterranean landscape, the estate overlooks the sea where the eponymous island first appeared in 1831. If France and Italy once fought to claim it, these wines made from complementary grape varieties illustrate the union of these two cultures, within the project supported by the Oddo and Planeta families.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The union of two wine ambassador families<\/h4>\n

The Planeta family<\/h5>\n

At the head of the Planeta empire are 3 cousins: Francesca, Alessio and Santi Planeta. Their secret? A successful marriage of modernity and Sicilian produce. The 390-hectare estate, spread over six estates throughout Sicily, is planted with the finest varieties of both native (Nero d’Avola, Nerello Mascalese, Grecanico, Carricante, Moscato di Noto and Frappato) and international grape varieties, the source of some of Italy’s most delicious wines.<\/span><\/p>\n

Benefiting from an excellent helping hand from nature: a dry, sunny climate, a fresh Mediterranean breeze, and the quality and diversity of Sicilian soils, Planeta has made a name for itself and is among the world’s finest wines. <\/span>among the world’s finest wines<\/b>. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The Oddo estate<\/h5>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The story began in 2015 when Pascal and Lorraine Oddo acquired <\/span>
\n the Domaine du Vallon des Glauges<\/span>
\n<\/a>one of the most sumptuous wine estates in the Coteaux d’Aix en Provence, producing mainly ros\u00e9. <\/span> <\/p>\n

Passionate about wine, the family couldn’t stop there. They have diversified by selecting the best terroirs and surrounding themselves with local partner families: the Jolivet family in Sancerre, and the Sicilian family in Italy.<\/span> the Planeta family. <\/b><\/p>\n

In our ongoing quest for excellence, all our estates are committed to a sustainable approach that respects the environment. <\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
