Planeta Chardonnay Menfi 2022

Planeta Chardonnay Menfi 2022 is an illustrious example of the Sicilian wine renaissance, representing one of the highest expressions of the Chardonnay grape in the region. Grown in the Ulmo and Maroccoli vineyards in Sambuca di Sicilia, this wine is a product of organic farming, following the principles of the SOStain® protocol for sustainability.

This Chardonnay is fermented and aged in French oak barrels for 12 months, a process that accentuates its complexity and finesse. The careful vinification aims to preserve the natural characteristics of the grape, enhancing the aromatic richness and structure of the wine.

The wine has a light gold color, deep but transparent. On the nose it offers a rich and intense bouquet, where the flavor of ripe yellow peaches intertwines with notes of acacia honey and almond paste. These olfactory sensations are complemented by peaty, cereal and toasted nuances. On the palate, the wine is soft, supported by a refreshing acidity and a light mineral trait that gives balance and a persistent and powerful finish.

Perfect with fine dishes such as lightly seared foie gras or roast veal with mushroom sauce. It is also excellent with rich fish and shellfish dishes, as well as a selection of fine cheeses.
