More info

Chardonnay is a Planeta wine, an image of the change in the last decades of Sicilian enology. Today the Chardonnay is almost 40 years old, born in the vineyards of Ulmo and Maroccoli, on medium-sized soils. After the hand-picked grapes, they are deracked and pressed at low temperature, followed by fermentation in barrique and an ageing period of 11 months in Allier oak.

Notes of taste

The sensations that Chardonnay provokes are manifold. The eye sees a light golden colour, with a slight contrast of perceptions that anticipate the wine tasting. The nose reveals the aroma of ripe yellow peaches and a torbid, toasted scent with a balanced finish. The palate is characterized by creaminess and refreshing acidity that provides a backdrop to the whole tasting.

Wine at the table

During a dinner it can accompany a delicate fois gras or slightly scalded white seconds on the plate, along with mountain sauces.
