Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The Chardonnay grows in the historic "Ventaglio" vineyard at Piana degli Albanesi, at 700–800 metres above sea level. The high-altitude climate has sharp temperature changes between day and night, which creates ideal conditions for Chardonnay.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand from September, at peak ripeness. Cold skin maceration draws out more aroma and structure. The wine is fermented in 225-litre oak barriques.
Ageing
It ages for 8 months in 225-litre oak barriques, then matures further in bottle.
Tasting profile
Exceptional depth and complexity, with bright fruit balanced by mineral and refreshing notes. With time it becomes more complex and layered; it can continue to develop and improve for at least 5 years.
Label / history
Named after the area of Jale near Palermo, and inspired by its landscapes and cultural heritage.
