Tasting notes

Pure Chardonnay with a spicy kick, weft and intensity of the perfumes from the Mediterranean belt. The spicy complement, characteristic of this eternal international variety, is rendered even more valuable by fruity nuances which suggest banana, papaya and ripe pineapple with striking notes of orange-blossom flower. Rich and almost opulent with exemplary harmony.

Colour: straw-coloured yellow with green hues
On the nose: initial impressions are those typical of a great wine, as is Chardonnay, alternating clear and distinct varietal aromas, such as acacia, broom and mimosa, fruited nuances which suggest banana, papaya, ripe pineapple, criss-crossed with suggestive memories of orange-blossom flowers
On the palate: sumptuous, almost opulent, entirely in proportion to the kaleidoscope of base perfumes, exemplary harmony, enveloping and silky, pleasant beyond your wildest expectations, full-bodied and long-lasting, progressive and juicy
Characteristics: Chardonnay could be described as the archetype of the perfect wine, aesthetically outstanding, with soft and charming notes, exceptional to drink. Simply pure nectar which fully expresses its varietal qualities and extraordinary Sicilian terroir
To eat with: bucatini pasta with sardines, spaghetti with deep-sea octopus, tagliolini with lobster, cannelloni with fish ragù; excellent with crab, oven-baked sword-fish mini-rolls and sliced dentex fish with herbs.
