Terroir and wine-making

Mediterranean spirit with great aging potential. Chiarandà Donnafugata is a Chardonnay Contessa Entellina Sicilia Doc, born in the homonymous estate, in south-eastern Sicily. The Chardonnay grape grows on hills 200-300 meters above sea level, from clay and limestone soils that host farms with backboard with pruning at the edge of the ground.

The climate that distinguishes this area is ventilated and dry in summer, mild in winter, with strict temperature variations between night and day. Fermentation takes place in steel at a temperature not exceeding 17 °C, aging for eight months in oak and steel, and finally a long rest of 16 months in bottle.

Notes of taste

Il Chiarandà offers a straw yellow robe that immediately gives way to a complex and pronounced nose, with strong fruity and floral notes, with elegant notes of long aging like hay and hazelnut. In the mouth, all the persistence explodes, pleasant nuances and a great finish.

Wine at the table

Chiarandà Donnafugata is a white wine that goes well with any meal, but it reaches the pinnacle of pleasure when paired with a good dish of fish, white meat and cheese of medium ripening.

Curiosity

Since the first vintage of 1992, the wine has expressed complexity and refinement with the name of Chiarandà del Merlo. After ten years, only Chiarandà remains, a feminine image that embodies beauty and delicacy.
