($22, Palm Bay International): Using both international and indigenous grapes, Planeta, a visionary producer, is showing the world that high-quality wine comes from Sicily, the island that not long ago had a reputation for quantity over quality. This Moscato di Noto, another surprise from this talented producer, captures your attention with the first aromatic whiff. It’s a surprise because, unlike most Moscato, it’s dry, with a crisp cutting edge to it. It would a good choice as an aperitif, with a first course of an assortment of grilled vegetables dribbled with olive oil, or simply grilled fish.
