Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The vineyards are in Sambuca di Sicilia, in the province of Agrigento. Constant sea breezes moderate temperatures and ventilate the vines. These climatic conditions reduce the need for chemical sprays, and many vineyards are managed organically.
Grapes
Chardonnay.
Vinification
Undamaged grapes are softly pressed. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. A portion of the must completes fermentation and maturation on the lees in French oak barrels. Bottling takes place in January to preserve freshness and aroma.
Technical data
Winemakers: Vito Giovinco and Giovanni di Giovanna.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow. The fragrant, subtle and gently spicy opening is fresh, followed by deeper notes of fruit, spice and stone. Sweet ripe fruit, a hint of cinnamon and touches of exotic fruit shape the palate.
Serving and pairing
Serve at 10–12°C. Pair with gourmet sandwiches, vegetarian dishes or seafood starters.
