Hugh Johnson said this company makes good wine so I gave it a shot.
AAAARGH! what causes wine to taste greasy and rough like rocket fuel? the
color was a bit on the darkish side for what is essentially a Chardonnay
based wine (if my HJ Pocket guide can be trusted) Is there someting about
Sicily or is this just my bad luck (third bad bottle in two weeks all
different of course) Or is this the odds evening out (I do not uncover many
truly bad wines as a rule)
Anyway what is that awful taste in my mouth?
Thanks for the replies

I was underwhelmed by this as well.

There has been a thread on IHV on this. I am definitely unimpressed by
these typical italian flat boring white. I detected a nasty bitter
aftertaste on the 2002. Planeta makes something called Cometa that did
impress me a couple of years back, but it is very inconsistent and the
good years seem to happen about as often as visible comets.

Hmmm... No help from me, alas. I've had the La Segreta white in
previous years and found it to be a boring but inoffensive wine. From
your description, it almost sounds as if your bottle was contaminated.
