"Potente e decisamente complesso nel profilo principale mostra energia e carattere nelle note di fiori di arancio, cedro in pezzi, calendula, salvia, pepe bianco e ed erba tagliata. C'è di più in sottofondo nella grassezza della matrice multiforme che regala sfumature di cioccolato bianco ed erbe officinali. Corpo pieno, succoso e decisamente nobile ed aggraziato nel sorso chiude leggiadro e performante. Meglio dal 2022."

"Aromas of peach, honeysuckle and almond are irresistible but the wine really excels in the mouth where it imparts opulent density and richness. This wine is an absolute pleasure to drink. A beautiful Sicilian wine that would pair with shellfish, crab cakes or white meat."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Planeta 'Cometa' Fiano Menfi" from the vintage 2007 on 01.01.2009 with 91 of 100 points.
"One of the best white wines to come from Sicily, and Italy for that matter, Cometa is a layered and complex warm-climate white with ripe and generous tones of mature peach, lemon zest, almond, pear, vanilla and honey that fit together in perfect harmony. It's well-crafted and beautifully textured and pairs with creamy lobster bisque."
yr. 2006 Wine Enthusiast:

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Planeta 'Cometa' Fiano Menfi" from the vintage 2006 on 01.01.2008 with 91 of 100 points.
"Cometa boasts a brilliant, saturated golden color and carries through with clean execution in terms of aromas and flavors. Notes of tropical fruit and ripe citrus come into sharp focus thanks to Fiano's natural minerality. In the mouth, it offers plenty of weight, but balances that with great length on the finish, hinting at anise, honey, limes and oranges."
